Abstract: (150 Views)
Background: Osteoporosis is one of the major problems of the healthcare system and according to the increase in life expectancy, the incidence of osteoporosis is gradually increasing. The present study was conducted to investigate the determinants of physical activity in the prevention of osteoporosis based on Pender's health promotion model among women.
Methods: The present study was an analytical descriptive-analytical study that was conducted on 250 women aged 15 to 49 referring to comprehensive health service centers in Arak city and using cluster random sampling method in 1402. A valid and reliable questionnaire including three parts was used to collect data: Questions related to demographic information, constructs of Pender's health promotion model, and physical activity. Data were entered in SPSS version 18 software and chi-square tests and multivariate linear regression were used to analyze the data.
Result: 48% of the participants had light-intensity physical activity. The results of multiple linear regression showed that considering confounding factors such as income level, number of children, and marriage status, the construct of perceived benefits (β=0.20, p=0.006) and commitment to the action plan (β=0.38, p=0.001), there was a direct and significant relationship with physical activity in the participants.
Conclusion: Pender's health promotion model can to some extent predict physical activity. More studies are suggested to investigate other influencing factors using other health promotion models.
