Abstract
Osteoporosis is an emerging, aging-associated disorder with widespread prevalence
in many Asian countries. For the protection and maintenance of bone health and
prevention of osteoporosis, understanding the relationship between adequate
knowledge and beliefs about calcium intake, associated factors, and the disease
itself is important. This study determined the relationship between knowledge and
beliefs regarding osteoporosis and dietary calcium intake among Pakistani female
graduates aged 18 years.
