Abstract

Background: Osteoporosis is a major global health issue that results in disability and high medical expenses. It can significantly impact both individuals and their caregivers, leading to pain, limitations in daily activities, and emotional distress. Purpose: This study observed the association of sociodemographic factors in affecting knowledge, perception, and behavior related to osteoporosis in a rural area of Malang, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a rural area of Malang to assess the knowledge, perception, and behavior of adults (≥18 years old) toward osteoporosis. Participants were asked to fill in a validated questionnaire, which was selected randomly using a multistage stratified sampling technique. Collected data were analyzed on SPSS for Windows version 25.0. Results: The study included 376 randomly selected participants from various rural areas in Malang. The subjects mostly were within the 51-60 age group (34.0%), with female respondents accounting for 73.4% of the sample. On average, participants scored 1.8 (±2.5) for knowledge, 12.0 (±2.1) for perception, and 12.2 (±2.9) for behavior regarding osteoporosis. Both age and education levels showed associations with knowledge and perception, while only age was significantly linked to behavior concerning osteoporosis. Conclusions: Our study revealed a strong association between low educational levels, especially among the elderly, and the lack of knowledge, perceptions, and behavior toward osteoporosis.

Abstract

Background: Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by decreased bone density, which increases the risk of fractures, particularly in untreated osteoporosis and when falls occur. The incidence of falls in individuals with osteoporosis is quite high, with 1.5 million out of 34 million people experiencing it, emphasizing the need for awareness among sufferers to prevent it. Indonesia, the fourth most populous country in the world. Aim: The focus of this study is to determine the relationship between fracture risk (the Percentage Ten-Year Probability of Major Osteoporosis and hip fracture) and falls, in relation to sociodemographic and other risk factors in Malang. Methods: The study was conducted in Malang City using a cross-sectional design. A total of 153 participants were selected using purposive sampling. Results: The results showed a strong correlation between menopause status and gender with the percentage ten-year probability of major osteoporosis(p-value for menopause status: 0.007, p-value for gender: 0.008). There was also a strong relationship between age and the Percentage Ten-Year Probability of Hip Fracture (p-value: <0.001). However, no variable had a strong influence on the risk of falling based on the Ontario Modified Stratify-Sydney Scoring for Adultery (p-values: education: 0.271; age: 0.067; menarche status: 0.996; menopause: 0.724; gender: 0.996; BMI: 0.448; TUG: 0.058). Conclusion: Given the findings that show a heightened risk of fractures in older adults, women, and those experiencing menopause, the Malang government could develop policies aimed at early intervention.
