Our findings from 55 RCTs and 18 sub-group meta-analyses showed that complex implementation interventions with multiple components consisting of at least education + feedback + follow-up significantly increased the initiation of osteoporosis medications , and interventions with at least education + follow-up significantly increased the initiation of osteoporosis investigations .
No significant impact was found for any type of intervention to reduce fracture .
Complex interventions that include at least education + follow-up or feedback have the most potential for increasing osteoporosis investigations and treatment .
Patient education appears to be an important component in osteoporosis disease management
Osteoporosis is affecting over 200 million people worldwide .
Despite available guidelines , care for these patients remains sub-optimal .
We developed an osteoporosis tool to address the multiple dimensions of chronic disease management .
Findings from its evaluation showed a significant increase from baseline in osteoporosis investigations and treatment , so we are revising this tool to include multiple chronic conditions including an up date of evidence about osteoporosis .
Our objectives were to conduct a systematic review of osteoporosis interventions in adults at risk for osteoporosis .
Effects of a three-month therapeutic lifestyle modification program to improve bone health in postmenopausal Korean women in a rural community: a randomized controlled trial.
In this r and omized controlled trial , we examined the effects of a 3-month therapeutic lifestyle modification ( TLM ) intervention on knowledge , self-efficacy , and health behaviors related to bone health in postmenopausal women in rural Korea . Forty-one women ages 45 or older were r and omly assigned to either the intervention ( n = 21 ) or control ( n = 20 ) group . The intervention group completed a 12-week , 24-session TLM program of individualized health monitoring , group health education , exercise , and calcium-vitamin D supplementation . Compared with the control group , the intervention group showed significant increases in knowledge and self-efficacy and improvement in diet and exercise after 12 weeks , providing evidence that a comprehensive TLM program can be effective in improving health behaviors to maintain bone health in women at high risk of osteoporosis
