Brief Summary: Postmenopausal osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and increased fracture risk Treatment includes exercise nutrition supplements and medications like bisphosphonates denosumab or hormone replacement therapy Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking reducing alcohol consumption and preventing falls are also crucial

Despite effective treatments adherence is low 20-30 of patients dont start oral bisphosphonates and 16-60 continue medications after one year Exercise adherence rates are similarly low 143-577 This non-adherence imposes a significant clinical and economic burden

Health literacy HL-the ability to find understand and use health information-is vital for managing health but is understudied in relation to osteoporosis treatment adherence This study aims to examine the relationship between HL exercise habits and medication adherence in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients Understanding these factors can lead to effective interventions improving patient adherence and health outcomes

The study will measure HL levels and their correlation with medication and exercise adherence potentially informing health education programs and strategies to enhance treatment adherence By doing so it aims to improve health outcomes and healthcare system efficiency
Detailed Description: Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a common bone disease characterized by low bone mass deterioration of bone tissue microarchitecture and an increased risk of fractures This condition results from the imbalance between bone formation and resorption due to decreased estrogen levels Fractures the feared complication of osteoporosis make this condition a significant problem both clinically and from a public health perspective In Europe postmenopausal osteoporosis affects approximately 22 million women and causes over 35 million fragility fractures annually

Treatment options include regular exercise healthy nutrition calcium and vitamin D supplementation and pharmacological treatments such as bisphosphonates denosumab or hormone replacement therapy Additionally quitting smoking reducing alcohol consumption and preventing falls are crucial in preventing osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures Despite the availability of safe and effective medications to reduce fracture risk many patients either do not start treatment or do not adhere to it adequately This non-adherence to treatment results in a significant clinical and economic burden Following the prescription of medications a substantial percentage of patients around 20-30 do not start taking oral bisphosphonates and the continuation rate of osteoporosis medications over one year is reported to range from 16 to 60 Furthermore low levels of adherence to resistanceweight-bearing exercises 363-544 and physical activity 143-577 have been observed

Health literacy HL is defined as the capacity of individuals to find understand evaluate and apply health-related information to prevent diseases develop healthy eating behaviors and improve their health There are limited studies on the impact of health literacy on adherence to osteoporosis treatment in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients However no study has investigated the effect of HL on both medical treatment adherence and exercise adherence in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients

This study aims to investigate the relationship between health literacy exercise habits and medication adherence in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients By identifying the factors leading to non-adherence to osteoporosis-preventive medications and regular exercise effective interventions to enhance adherence to these treatments can be determined This can result in better health outcomes for patients and increased efficiency within the healthcare system
