Demographic information was obtained, and KAP scores were assessed using a questionnaire. The differences in KAP toward osteosarcopenia were compared among patients with different demographic characteristics. The factors influencing knowledge, attitudes, and practices were determined using logistic regression analyses. A path analysis was conducted to examine the relationships between the knowledge, attitudes, and practices dimensions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study enrolled 585 participants.

Being single (OR = 0.532, 95% CI: 0.322-0.876), requiring partial assistance with activities of daily living (OR = 0.247, 95% CI: 0.144-0.424), being bedridden (OR = 0.055, 95% CI: 0.012-0.246), score 9\u201312 for social support and environmental factors (OR = 1.674, 95% CI: 1.000-2.804), score 13\u201320 for social support and environmental factors (OR = 5.771, 95% CI: 2.971-11.209), score 5.0-6.9 for confidence level in preventing osteosarcopenia (OR = 3.933, 95% CI: 2.179-7.101), and score 7.0-10.0 for confidence level in preventing osteosarcopenia (OR = 4.227, 95% CI: 2.174-8.216) were independently associated with the knowledge scores.
