抄録

The purpose of this study is to see if women in their 30s and 50s who need to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis can promote the change of preventive behavior of postmenopausal osteoporosis by using the healthcare smartphone app (hereinafter referred to as "healthcare smartphone app"). Whether people are using the healthcare smartphone app or not, it is to clarify the disease characteristics with other diseases. We conducted an Internet-based questionnaire survey of women in their 30s and 50s, received responses from 311 people. As a result, it was suggested that the use of health care smartphone apps can promote preventive behavior modification of postmenopausal osteoporosis. In addition, users of the healthcare smartphone app were strongly associated with postmenopausal osteoporosis prevention intentions, future health anxiety, and loneliness. Disease specificity with the menstrual cycle management app was confirmed. It is possible that incentives and gamification that encourage disease education, information provision, and continuation through healthcare smartphone apps are important for preventive behavior modification of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
