One and one half million bone fractures occur every year as a result of osteoporosis. Attaining greater levels of bone density prior to the onset of bone loss increases the chance of avoiding fractures later in life. However, female college students often engage in dietary and weight control practices that may impair bone health, placing them at greater risk for fractures as they age. Health educators may be more effective in promoting bone health behavior if they have an understanding of the levels of osteoporosis knowledge, perceptions, and behaviors of young women. The Osteoporosis Knowledge Scale, including items related to osteoporosis and dietary calcium knowledge and perceptions, was administered to 610 collegiate females enrolled at Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas and Florida Atlantic University, Davie, Florida. Self-reported intakes of dairy product consumption were obtained. The mean score for osteoporosis knowledge was 6.5 ± 1.4 (out of 9 items). The mean score for favorable responses to perception items was 2.4 ± .82 (out of 4 items). Correct responses to dietary calcium knowledge items were 5.2 ± 1.77 (out of 9 items). Participants consumed 2.87 ± 1.28 servings of dairy products per day; 56% of participants consumed less than the recommended three or more servings per day. Osteoporosis knowledge, osteoporosis perceptions, and dietary calcium knowledge were not significant variables (p>.05) in the prediction of dairy product intake. Results indicate that osteoporosis knowledge and perception, and knowledge of dietary calcium sources, does not influence dairy product intake. Further investigations into factors that influence dairy product intake among college females is warranted.
