Keywords: osteoporosis; food; habits; skeletal; university students
Background: Osteoporosis is a general metabolic disorder which causes many musculoskeletal issues and reduces the quality of life in the elderly population which usually progresses at the age between 30 to 40 years in both males and females. Recent studies suggested some of the associated factors like age, low bone mineral density, sex family history of fracture, less dietary intake of vitamin D, and abnormal thyroid function, these factors are the leading cause of osteoporosis especially in females. It is also indicated that along with other associated factors poor living style, malnutrition and the bad food habits leads to form osteoporosis which contributes in the loss of bone mass in post-menopausal stage of women
Objective: To determine the association between osteoporosis knowledge and food habits in female university students of Lahore.
Methodology: After the approval from the research committee of University an analytical cross sectional study was conducted using the Osteoporosis knowledge assessment tool (OKAT) &Adolescent food habits checklist tool (AFHC) to collect data from 138 students. The collection of data was carried by online Google forms because the university was closed due to the pandemic situation.
Results: Mean knowledge score was found 9.9 with SD 4.8. Majority of the participants were found having average Knowledge good Knowledge (33.3% and 32.6%). Mean AFHC score was found 12.1 with SD±4.5. Increasing score indicates higher good food habits’ value and r value indicates that there is association between osteoporosis knowledge and food habits.
Conclusion: This study concluded that there is a strong positive correlation between osteoporosis knowledge and food habits.
Osteoporosis is defined as a systemic, skeletal ailment affected by poor bone mineral density and degeneration of bone tissues that results increase in bone fragility and fracture risk. For the most part, the double energy X-ray absorptiometry has been utilized to test bone density in various areas of the body [1]. It usually progresses at the age between 30 to 40 years in both males and females [2]. It is a general metabolic disorder which causes many musculoskeletal issues and reduces the quality of life in the elderly population [3]. Recent studies suggested some of the associated factors like age, low bone mineral density, sex family history of fracture, less dietary intake of vitamin D, and abnormal thyroid functions are the leading cause of osteoporosis especially in females [4].
The most common symptoms of osteoporosis are musculoskeletal pain, wrist and hip fracture Among these symptoms hip fracture increases the mortality of patients and also leads the poor quality of life and reduces daily physical activity in their life [5]. Recent studies mentioned the osteoporosis prevalence in females is 10% in USA, 14% in Japan, 4% in Canada and 10% in France. All the suggested data mentioned that osteoporosis is the most common age related disease in females which compromise the heath of the females and also reduces the strength of bones [6].
Bone mineral density (BMD) normally presents in all the individuals but varies person to person the level of BMD decreases and the loss of bone occurs with the age. Almost 24% women suffered from severe osteoporosis at the age between 50 to 84 years. Bone mineral density is most commonly mentioned as T- score and z-score. T-score of less than 2.5 indicates the case of osteoporosis [7]. It is suggested that the prevalence of post-menopausal osteoporosis is very high and the 31
Bilal et al (2017) conducted a research to determine the level of knowledge, views, and actions regarding osteoporosis among Pakistani female medical school applicants. This descriptive cross sectional study included 400 female medical students from DOW University of Health Sciences and Jinnah Sindh Medical University in England. The osteoporosis knowledge assessment tool and food frequency questionnaire was used and it was concluded that participants possessed insufficient amount of knowledge of the disease [17].
Nada Vujasinović Stupar et al (2017) conducted a study on 132postmenopausal womento assess the level of familiarity with osteoporosis and the dangers it poses. Osteoporosis knowledge assessment tool-shorter version was used to determine a person's degree of knowledge which showed significant differences between their knowledge about osteoporosis and its risk factors [18].
Varisha Tariq et al (2018) did this study to investigate and assess the awareness and understanding of osteoporosis and its risk factors among doctor of physiotherapy undergraduate students in Pakistan. This observational cross-sectional study was conducted on the 252 doctor of physiotherapy students with the help of osteoporosis knowledge assessment tool to assess the knowledge regarding osteoporosis and its risk factors. This study concluded that considerable number of students was having poor knowledge and we need to start awareness at the root level to deal with this increasing problem [19].
Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted by Sarita Pantaall et al (2020) assess the awareness and health beliefs of osteoporosis in 328 middle aged of selected community of Kathmandu. Osteoporosis health beliefs scale and osteoporosis knowledge assessment tool indicate that majority of the women were having poor knowledge of osteoporosis [20].
Naif R. Almalki et al (2016) conducted a cross sectional study to evaluate the knowledge regarding osteoporosis among 140 medical interns. Osteoporosis knowledge assessment tool was used to evaluate these things, which shows the knowledge among medical interns was poor [21].
Basim Khalid AlHarthiet al (2017) conducted this study with the purpose to examine the osteoporosis knowledge among 200 Saudi females in Riyadh. The osteoporosis knowledge assessment tool was used for evaluation. The conclusion was, very good percentage of females were aware of the osteoporosis [22].
Manickavasagam Senthilrajaet al (2021) conducted a cross sectional study to evaluate the knowledge regarding osteoporosis and beliefs among 302 postmenopausal women in India. Osteoporosis knowledge assessment tool was used to evaluate these things, which shows a deficit of knowledge regarding osteoporosis among postmenopausal women in India [23].
Sayaf H. Alshareef et al (2018) conducted a cross sectional study on 1012 young college women to assess the level of knowledge and awareness regarding osteoporosis and its risk factors. Osteoporosis knowledge assessment tool was used for data collection to assess the understanding of symptoms, fracture risks and level of knowledge. This study concludes that young Saudi females do not have considerable amount of knowledge [24].
Tagreed O. Shawashiet al (2017) conducted this descriptive cross sectional study with the purpose to examine the female university student’s beliefs, knowledge and self-efficacy regarding osteoporosis in 260 female students. The osteoporosis knowledge assessment tool, osteoporosis health beliefs scale and osteoporosis self-efficacy scale was used for evaluation. The conclusion was, very poor percentage of females has any knowledge about osteoporosis [25].
REE De Silva et al (2014) conducted a descriptive cross sectional study to evaluate the knowledge, practices and beliefs among 186 medical school entrants in Sri Lanka. Self-administered questionnaire was used for evaluation, which shows a modest level of knowledge regarding osteoporosis among medical students in Sri Lanka. It is also stated that along with other associated factors poor living style, malnutrition and the bad food habits leads to form osteoporosis which contributes in the loss of bone mass in post-menopausal stage of women [26].
To determine the association between osteoporosis knowledge and food habits in female university students of Lahore.
Hypothesis:
Null hypothesis:
There was no significant association found between osteoporosis knowledge and food habits in female university students of Lahore.
Alternate hypothesis:
There was a significant association found between osteoporosis knowledge and food habits in female university students of Lahore.
Rationale:
Many researches present on osteoporosis in women, but mostly researches finds the prevalence, causes, risk factors and the post-menopausal osteoporosis in females which are done in other countries. But there is no study found in Pakistan which determines the association between osteoporosis and food habits in female university students of Lahore. This research was mainly focused to determine the guidelines about osteoporosis and its relationship with food patterns or habits. Because food habits or healthy food intake plays important role in maintaining the vitamin D or calcium levels which helps to reduce the risk of osteoporosis in the elderly age of females. It will help us in future to make better or effective guidelines related to the prevention of osteoporosis.

Alternative hypothesis was accepted.
Osteoporosis is rapidly becoming a major public health concern impacting tens of millions throughout the world; it is not simply a Age-related illness, but it also affects people of all ages. Despite the fact that OP cases have increased quickly in recent years, little is known about it, and understanding and awareness of it are uncommon. According to a survey performed in Malaysia, just 6.8% of students between the ages of 20 and 30 have a strong understanding of OP. In contrast to our findings, a Saudi Arabian study found that 77 percent of students were aware of osteoporosis. Similar surveys to estimate the risk of osteoporosis have been done in China and the United States of America (USA).According to the findings, both American and Chinese students had insufficient knowledge of osteoporosis.
Among comparison to men, osteoporosis is more common in women and females around the world. The majority of the subjects had a good understanding of osteoporosis, which contrasted with other studies that showed a lack of understanding of osteoporosis risk factors and prevention measures, leading to a poor knowledge and behavior, which would significantly raise the incidence of osteoporosis in our society.
The study's goal was to find out what knowledge, beliefs, and food habits female students in Superior University Lahore, Pakistan had about osteoporosis. The reason for picking Female students was that they had not been educated enough about osteoporosis at the college or university level, and their only understanding of the disease comes from their family physicians. The participants in the study had a strong understanding of osteoporosis. The vast majority of the participants were determined to have average to good knowledge. Knowledge of risk variables is essential since it can be used to inform disease prevention initiatives [31].
Nonetheless, when comparing to girls in college in the United States in a same study, the participants' understanding of risk factors was low [32]. Previous research in Pakistan have found that females in Pakistan do not have a enough understanding of the dangers of osteoporosis, and that understanding does not always transfer into avoidance [31]. However, when compared to a same study done among university students in Quetta, where the average level of expertise was 13.01 2.9, the study showed a higher mean score on osteoporosis knowledge. This is evidence of regional disparities in health knowledge.
Participants will only take preventative steps if they believe they are susceptible to the disease and that the severity of the sickness will have a significant impact on their life, according to the Health Belief Model [33]. In our study, participants' reported vulnerability to osteoporosis was good, with more than half believing they could develop osteoporosis. And it was discovered that this sickness is linked to one's eating habits. In Pakistani studies, inadequate levels of activity and a physical inactivity are on the upswing, possibly as a result of longer hours spent indoors [34]. Low bone mass and muscle weakness, which both increase the risk of osteoporosis, are two factors to consider, can be exacerbated by a lack of needed amounts of activity and diet [35].
Complications of osteoporosis are the primary cause of morbidity and mortality. Every year, an estimated 9 million people worldwide suffer from osteoporosis fractures. In Europe, osteoporosis-related impairment outnumbers cancer-related disability. This is on par with, if not higher than, non-communicable illness. A method that works (OKAT) to evaluate your understanding of osteoporosis is one of our study's strengths. We also gathered data on the elements that may influence awareness, which we hope to use to promote knowledge in general. This issue is primarily linked to osteoporosis. The study's certain restrictions include limited sample size and the use of an online poll, which could lead to selection bias. As a result, we were unable to apply our findings to both genders.
According to the findings, there is a considerable positive link between osteoporosis knowledge and food habits. Females who have poor eating habits are at high risk of developing osteoporosis, and for those who have good eating habits and a period of physical activity are at lower risks of developing osteoporosis.
First limitation regarding this study was the population, which was selected from only one university due to pandemic lock down and it does not represent the whole country. The second limitation was we were not able to use the random sampling technique for data collection because the university was closed due to the pandemic.
With a climbing rate of osteoporosis due to poor food habits and lack of knowledge, this is a demand to investigate current policies, lifestyles and food habits of the students. In the future, further studies should be multicenter and studies on larger scales are also required in the future. Because the prevalence of osteoporosis is calculated higher and this is a good opportunity to review student’s present habits, to plan seminars on osteoporosis, women health and food habits in university’s curriculum, as well as to create a clear guidelines among university students. Therefore, further evaluation is needed for both groups’ especially female students as they are the more prone to multiple musculoskeletal diseases than the other gender.
