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