Despite the burden of fragility fractures on individuals and the healthcare systems, preventative measures are poorly implemented for this patient population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aims to explore osteoporosis knowledge, health beliefs, and self-efficacy among men with PC, and how these factors differ across socioeconomic groups.

Data collected included sociodemographic information; osteoporosis risk factors; and three validated questionnaires: FOOQ &amp; MOKQ, OHBS, and OSES.

Participants demonstrated low osteoporosis knowledge (mean scores: 48.2% FOOQ, 33.5% MOKQ), yet showed moderate motivation and belief in the benefits of exercise and calcium. Self-efficacy scores were moderate (OSE-exercise: 69.6; OSE-calcium: 71.4). Men with older age, lower education, and greater deprivation tend to have poorer knowledge and more barriers to exercise. In addition, 19.6% reported falls in the previous 12 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Men with PC have limited understanding of osteoporosis despite increased risk.
