| Description | Objective: Objective of this study was to verify the educational needs of women in the prevention of osteoporosis based on the occurrence of modifi able risk factors for disease, determine the occurrence of the behavioral risk factors among women in various age groups and their impact on their health. Material and methods: An examination was carried out on 737 women in the city of Brno. Through the distributed questionnaire CINDI Health Monitor. The examined women were stratifi ed according to their age as follows: group A (16–24 years), group B (25–49 years), group C (50–65 years). The study focussed on the incidence of high-risk behavior in the categories of tobacco smoking, inadequate nutrition, excessive alcohol consumption, low physical activity and extreme values of BMI. The results were compared between defi ned groups of women. For a statistical signifi cance was used test ANOVA (post hoc test) and Fishers Exact Test. Results: The examination showed highly signifi cant diff erences in the incidence of tobacco smoking – the most active smoking group was A (p <0.05), poor eating habits were most pronounced in groups A (ANOVA test <0.05), excessive alcohol consumption was highest at group A (p < 0.05), the risk factor for the lack of physical activity was generally signifi cant (p < 0.05) as age increased. The evaluation of the health impact of smoking was only in group A (p < 0.05), inadequate food had an eff ect on group B (p <0.05), excessive alcohol consumption had no eff ect on any group (A (p > 0.05 ). Physical activity had an eff ect on all groups (p <0.05), BMI only had an eff ect in group C (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These recent results show that risk factors are most common in group A, while these women do not consider the risks to their health. The need to educate young women in the prevention of osteoporosis appears to be necessary. |
