The relationship of perceived risk and biases in perceived risk to fracture prevention behavior in older women.
The researchers compared perceived risk and biases in perceived risk for fracture to fracture preventive behavior. They found that higher perceived risk was related to lower quality of life and self-reported health, more medication and calcium use, increased bone density scan use, and less walking. Bias was only associated with less medication use. Neither perceived risk nor bias predicted medication adherence.
