Özet:

 Osteoporosis is a metabolic disease that disrupts the microarchitecture of the bone. As life expectancy increases, so does the frequency of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a preventable disease and its progression can be slowed. The aim of this study is to assess the risk and awareness of osteoporosis in women and to investigate the variables thought to be associated with it. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 451 women aged 45 years and older. The Osteoporosis Risk Scale ORS and the Osteoporosis Awareness Scale OAS were used in this study. The study group consisted of women aged 45 to 85 years, with an average age of 57.8  9.3 years. In this study, 402 women were found to be at risk for osteoporosis. The womens ORS scores ranged from 5 to 40, with an average of 19.6  4.2 points. OAS scores ranged from 27 to 107, with an average of 57.7  15.0. A weak negative correlation was found between ORS scores and OAS scores. This study found that 89.1 of women were at risk for osteoporosis. Women who were not obese, were not taking medication for osteoporosis in postmenopause and did not have a medically diagnosed bone disease had a higher risk of osteoporosis. Womens awareness of osteoporosis was moderate. Any educational movement to protect against osteoporosis, a preventable disease, will protect society from osteoporosis by empowering individuals to recognize their own risk factors and take steps to reduce them.

 Osteoporoz, kemiklerin mikro mimari yapısını bozan metabolik bir hastalıktır. Yaşam süresi uzadıkça osteoporoz sıklığı da artmaktadır. Osteoporoz önlenebilir bir hastalıktır ve ilerlemesi yavaşlatılabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı kadınlarda osteoporoz riskini ve farkındalığını değerlendirmek ve ilişkili olduğu düşünülen değişkenleri incelemektir. Bu kesitsel çalışma 45 yaş ve üzeri 451 kadın üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada Osteoporoz Risk Ölçeği ORÖ ve Osteoporoz Farkındalık Ölçeği OFÖ kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubu, yaş ortalaması 57,8  9,3 yıl olan 45-85 yaş arası kadınlardan oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışmada 402 kadının osteoporoz açısından risk altında olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kadınların ORÖ skorları 5 ila 40 arasında değişmekte olup ortalama 19,6  4,2 puandır. OFÖ skorları 27 ile 107 arasında değişmekte olup ortalama skor 57,7  15,0dir. ORÖ skorları ile OFÖ skorları arasında zayıf bir negatif korelasyon bulunmuştur. Bu çalışmada kadınların 89,1inin osteoporoz riski altında olduğu bulunmuştur. Obez olmayan, postmenopozal dönemde osteoporoz için ilaç kullanmayan ve tıbbi olarak teşhis edilmiş kemik hastalığı olmayan kadınlarda osteoporoz riski daha yüksekti. Kadınların osteoporoz konusundaki farkındalığı orta düzeydeydi. Önlenebilir bir hastalık olan osteoporozdan korunmaya yönelik her türlü farkındalık hareketi bireylerin kendi risk faktörlerini tanımasını ve bunları azaltmak için önlem almasını sağlayarak osteoporoza karşı toplumu koruyacaktır.
