Objective To investigate the current status of cognition and behaviors of preventive osteoporosis in postmenopausal women,and to explore the influencing factors.Methods Two hundred and eighty-six postmenopausal women who underwent physical examination in Zhengzhou Orthopedic Hospital from March 2020 to March 2023 were selected for the cross-sectional study.They were(59.41±10.82)years old.Their menopausal time was(9.44± 1.70)years.The cognition and behaviors of preventive osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women were investigated by the osteoporosis knowledge questionnaire and osteoporosis behavior questionnaire,and the influencing factors of cognition and behaviors of preventive osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women were analyzed.t test and multiple linear regression analysis were applied.Results Among the 286 postmenopausal women,267 completed the study questionnaires,with a completion rate of 93.36%.The total scores of the osteoporosis knowledge questionnaire and osteoporosis behavior questionnaire for the postmenopausal women were(13.24±2.58)and(16.81±3.02),respectively.The multiple linear regression analysis showed that>60-80 years old,education level of junior high school or below,and residence in township were the risk factors for the postmenopausal women's cognition of osteoporosis prevention(t=-7.177,-10.479 and-7.672;all P<0.001);the education level of junior high school or below,non-retired individuals,and income<1 600 yuan/month were the risk factors for the postmenopausal women's behaviors of osteoporosis prevention(t=-7.144,-8.568,and-6.773;all P<0.001).Conclusions Postmenopausal women's cognitive and behavioral levels of osteoporosis prevention need to be improved.Age,educational level,and place of residence can affect the cognitive level of osteoporosis prevention,while education level,work status,and income can affect the behavior level of osteoporosis prevention.
