The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between osteoporosis health belief and exercise and calcium intake. The sample consisted of 132 women aged 40 years of age or older. Data collection was done from July to August in 1998.
The questionnaire included Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale(OHBS)(Kim et al, 1991) and exercise and calcium intake items. OHBS was used to explore the subject´s belief about susceptibility, seriousness, benefits of exercise, barriers to exercise, benefits of calcium intake, barriers of calcium intake, and health motivation.
Ages of the subjects ranged from 40 to 74 years, with the mean age of 55.04. The majority(82.6%) of the subjects were married.
Approximately forty-six percent exercised regularay with the mean time of 4.98 per week. They exercised for 106.77 minutes every excercise time. The total period of exercise was 59.05 months in this study. Nineteen percent of the subjects consumed calcium supplements. Subjects drank 2.27 glasses milk per week. However, they rarely drank milk during adolescence and young adults periods.
The subjects who exercised regularly had higher health motivation and lower barriers of exercise than the subjects who did not exercise. The frequency of exercise had significant positive relationship to health motivation and negative relationship to barriers to exercise. Mean hours of exercise had positive relation-ship to susceptibility, health motivation, and benefits to exercise and negative relationship to barriers to exercise.
Milk intake had iegative relationship to benefits to calcium intake. Calcium supplements intake had positive relationship to susceptibility.
Osteoporosis is emerging as primary health concern in women´s health in Korea. Osteoporosis health beliefs that have significant relationship to exercise and calcium intake in this study might be used to encourage health behaviors to prevent and reduce osteoporosis.
In this study, self-reported data was used to assess exercise and calcium intake. Therefore, observations and diaries for exercise and calcium intake are recommended to obtain the objective data to investigate the relationship between osteoporosis health belief and calcium intake and exercise.
