Marzieh Azizi Journal Article 2023 03 13 Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease that is associated with negative physical and psychosocial<br />consequences, so understanding the effective strategies that can be used in the prevention of<br />osteoporosis is especially important. The aim of this study was to integrative review the published<br />interventional of nonpharmacological studies regarding the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis<br />among menopausal women. In this systematic review, databases such as PubMed, PsycInfo, Web<br />of Science (ISI), Scopus, ScienceDirect, EmBase, Cochrane library, Google scholar, and Iranian<br />databases, such as Scientific Information Database and Magiran, were searched. The latest search<br />was performed between “November 2020 and December 2020” separately by two researchers and<br />then double‑checked by them. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Jadad<br />score calculation tool. Twenty eight randomized controlled trials and quasi‑experimental studies were<br />included in this current study. The quality assessment indicated that 19 studies had acceptable (good)<br />methodological quality and also 9 studies had weak methodological quality. The main results of this<br />study were classified in three main categories such as exercise or physical activity training (n = 15),<br />educational sessions (n = 11), and other interventions (n = 2). The results of most included studies<br />showed that nonpharmacological strategies such as physical activity and educational interventions<br />are considered as the appropriate actions to prevention of osteoporosis among menopausal women<br />so implementing these strategies can be a good alternative for women with contraindication of<br />hormone therapy or therapeutic treatment.<br /><br /> https://jehp.mui.ac.ir/article_29697_9d949090ad3edca795fa487cdbbfc436.pdf
