Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This article conducted a cross-sectional survey of the relationship between osteoporosis and bone health knowledge, beliefs and practice in Malaysian Chinese aged 40 and over for up to 9 months. It helps us to understand the knowledge of osteoporosis in the population, and to have a certain significance for the future promotion of osteoporosis knowledge and the development of interventions. The research adopts the questionnaire method. The content of the questionnaire is comprehensive, and it is objective to use the multiple-choice question. However, this study is a cross-sectional study, the results of the study are yet to be further verified. In addition, this study excluded lower limb fractures 2 years before the screening date, or low-impact fractures after 50 years , or could not complete the questionnaire or screening procedure ,which may overestimate the subjects' knowledge of bone health.
