Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and osteoporosis are both chronic conditions and
the relationship between them is complex. Knowledge, health belief and self-efficacy
toward osteoporosis are fundamental to all osteoporosis management programs and
are often a pre-requisite for initiating desired behavioural changes. Therefore, the
aims of the present study were to assess the prevalence of osteoporotic conditions
and the level of knowledge, health belief and self-efficacy toward osteoporosis
among T2DM patients in Penang.
