Summary

Osteoporosis is an important public health problem in Vietnam, with one in ten Vietnamese women suffering from it. There is enough evidence demonstrating that low calcium intake is one of the risk factors for osteoporosis among Asian women in general and Vietnamese women in specific. It is reported that the intake of calcium among Vietnamese women is under 400 mg/day, which is less than the daily recommendation of 1,000 mg/day by the Vietnam National Institute of Nutrition, even though calcium-rich foods are largely available in Vietnam. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to promote dietary calcium intake among Vietnamese women aged 30-65 years through implementing a nutrition education intervention.

BEHAVIORAL

Nutrition education intervention about osteoporosis and calcium

The intervention is designed and developed based on the Intervention Mapping Process and the Health Belief Model. Topics of the intervention include: the importance of osteoporosis and risk factors, role of calcium in bone health and controlling the disease, calcium recommendations and sources, role of vitamin D and physical activity in calcium absorption and bone health, and how to identify calcium-rich foods in the locality and prepare meals with local calcium-rich foods. A recipe booklet containing recipes using local calcium-rich foods will be given to the participants after the end of the two nutrition lessons. Interactive activities are incorporated in each lesson to encourage the participation of participants.
