Abstract
Abstract
Osteoporosis is a global health and economic burden. It is a major chronic health
condition that affects women more than men and it is incurable disease.
Postmenopausal women are among those at greatest risk of osteoporosis, but any one of
either gender or any race can develop this disease. Effective disease management
ultimately lies in the hands of the individual patient, who must take responsibility for
key health behaviors related to bone health. One behavior modification strategy that
has proven effective to osteoporosis is self-management. The self-management
program for osteoporosis, choices for better bone health, helps to educate people about
the disease and to promote behavioral strategies for maximizing bone health.
Telenursing bridges the access gap to specialized osteoporosis care in remote areas.
Improving coordination of investigations, access to allied health members, and future
initiatives may improve morbidity and mortality related to osteoporosis in this
population. Mobile health (m-Health) interventions hold promise to effect engagement
in health behavior change related to calcium and vitamin D intake, balance, core and
leg strength, and physical activity.
