  • Conducted a multidistrict, cross-sectional survey from January to September 2023.
  • Approached 6429 eligible women, with 6068 completing valid questionnaires.
  • Used multivariable linear regression to identify associations with knowledge scores.
  • 61% of participants recognized the importance of bone health; however, only 12% reported calcium supplementation.
  • Higher education, marriage, and regular exercise were linked to better knowledge scores; hypertension and diabetes correlated with lower scores.
