| Objective To discuss the effect of the individualized health education on the treatment of primary osteoporosis with PEMFs. Methods One hundred and eight patients (18 man and 90 woman) who were diagnosed of osteoporosis in three 3A hospitals in Tangshan from May 2013 to December 2014 and volunteered to participate in this investigation were randomly divided into simple treatment group and treatment＋education group. The patients in two groups received PEMFs treatment for 60 times, 40 min each time. The patients in the treatment＋education group received strengthened individualized health education for 6 months, on the basis of conventional treatment. Osteoporosis KAP and BMD of the two groups were analyzed before and after the treatment. Results (1) After the treatment, the improvement of patients’ related health behavior in treatment＋education group was better than that in simple treatment group(P<0.05). (2) After the treatment, the percentage of patients who complied with recommended intake of grains, vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk, and soy in treatment＋education group were more than those in control group (P<0.05). (3) After the treatment, the intake of protein, VA, VC, calcium, zinc, magnesium, and dietary fiber in treatment＋education group was better than that in control group (P<0.05). (4) After the treatment, bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and femoral neck in female patients of both groups increased in different degree (P<0.05). It was higher in 50- and 60-age treatment＋education group than that in the same age simple treatment group. The increase of bone mineral density in treatment＋education group was all higher than that in the simple treatment group (P<0.05). Conclusion The individualized health education can improve the osteoporosis health behavior of the patients, promote reasonable dietary intake, improve nutritional status, and thus improve the effect of PEMFs treatment, especially increase bone mineral density in 50- and 60-age group. |
