Osteoporosis is a preventable disease that is a major health risk for millions of women. The key to the prevention and early detection is increasing the awareness of osteoporosis and educating vulnerable populations about the risk factors at an early age. Many college students are uninformed regarding preventive behaviors and fail to engage in these behaviors.

520 $a Osteoporosis is a preventable disease that is a major health risk for millions of women. The key to the prevention and early detection is increasing the awareness of osteoporosis and educating vulnerable populations about the risk factors at an early age. Many college students are uninformed regarding preventive behaviors and fail to engage in these behaviors.
520 $a The purpose of this descriptive study was to determine the level of knowledge college women at a large southeastern university possess concerning osteoporosis risk factors and prevention and to determine if having a relative or close friend with osteoporosis might impact the knowledge level. This study used the revised Facts on Osteoporosis Quiz (FOOQ) (Ailinger, Lasus, & Brown, 2003) to determine the level of knowledge possessed by 725 college women, aged 19 to 24 years, recruited from various classes and sororities at a large southeastern university. The study found that the majority of the participants did not have adequate knowledge of osteoporosis risk factors and prevention with the average score on the FOOQ being 63.7%. There was no significant difference in knowledge of osteoporosis among participants who have a friend or relative with osteoporosis (p = .104). There were significant differences (p < .001) in knowledge among participants that were health science majors (score = 69.6%), education majors (score = 58.5%), and other majors (score = 62.8%). There was a significant difference (p < .001) in the scores of the Caucasian women on the FOOQ (64.3%) and the African-American women (53.1%).
520 $a Many college women have limited osteoporosis-related knowledge, which may be an obstacle to the practice of preventive behaviors and avoidance of risky behaviors, such as smoking, ingestion of excessive amounts of alcohol and caffeine, intake of inadequate amounts of calcium, and absence of weight-bearing exercise. There are strong implications for the development of education programs to meet these identified needs of the female college student.
