Abstract

People with endocrine disorders are at an increased risk of osteoporosis, yet their knowledge of osteoporosis prevention is rarely studied. This study aimed to assess the knowledge related to osteoporosis prevention and its associated factors among people with endocrine disorders in China. A cross-sectional study was conducted in a Chinese hospital's Department of Metabolism and Endocrinology. A total of 562 people with endocrine disorders completed the Chinese version of the Osteoporosis Prevention and Awareness Tool to assess their knowledge of osteoporosis prevention. Results showed that participants had a mean knowledge of 59.36 ± 23.90 out of 100, with only 52.1% scoring above 60 points. Being female, having higher education, with comorbidities, with a recent osteoporosis diagnosis, and having received health education related to osteoporosis prevention were associated with higher knowledge of osteoporosis prevention. Our study indicates that more efforts are needed to improve the knowledge related to osteoporosis prevention among people with endocrine disorders. This may be realized by strengthening and expanding diverse education, focusing on males and those with lower education and without comorbidities.

内分泌失调患者的骨质疏松症预防知识：一项横断面研究。

内分泌失调患者罹患骨质疏松症的风险增加，但他们对骨质疏松症预防知识的了解却鲜有研究。本研究旨在评估中国内分泌失调患者预防骨质疏松症的相关知识及其相关因素。这项横断面研究在一家中医院的代谢与内分泌科进行。共有562名内分泌失调患者完成了骨质疏松症预防和认知工具的中文版，以评估他们对骨质疏松症预防知识的了解程度。结果显示，参与者的平均知识水平为（59.36 ± 23.90）分（满分100分），只有52.1%的人得分超过60分。女性、受过高等教育、有合并症、最近诊断出骨质疏松症以及接受过与骨质疏松症预防相关的健康教育与骨质疏松症预防知识较高相关。我们的研究表明，要提高内分泌失调患者对骨质疏松症预防知识的了解，还需要付出更多的努力。这可以通过加强和扩大多样化教育来实现，重点是男性和教育程度较低且无合并症的人群。
