Lack of calcium in the body can lead to reduced bone density. Osteoporosis is riskier in women than in men, therefore preventive measures should be taken early. The purpose of this study is to analyze factors related to osteoporosis in women of childbearing age in Sangkunur</em><em> Health.. The research method is quantitative with a cross-sectional study research design. The research was conducted at the Puskesmas Sangkunur</em><em> Regency against all PUS numbered 103 people with a sample of 82 people selected purposively. The data analysis used is Chi-Square. The results showed an a working relationship with osteoporosis in women of childbearing age, where the value of p-value is 0.0 26 (p&lt;0.05). There is a relationship between the use of injectable birth control and osteoporosis in women of childbearing age, where the value of p-value is 0.005 (p&lt;0.05). The results of this study recommend that health workers play an active role in socializing osteoporosis, in addition, WUS should regularly exercise and consume milk for osteoporosis prevention measures</em></p> Norma Yanti Rambe Elvi Suryani Lisna Khairani Nasution Copyright (c) 2025 Norma Yanti Rambe, Elvi Suryani, Lisna Khairani Nasution https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-12-30 2025-12-30 4 2 14 20 https://ejournal.stikesdarmais.ac.id/index.php/jkmd/article/view/515 <p><em>Occupational Safety And Health (OSH) contributes greatly to workplace accidents, especially in the garment industry sector, which involves various potential hazards and risks of injury. The work environment in the garment industry involves many physical activities and the use of tools that can cause accidents if not managed with proper safety procedures. Based on data provided&nbsp; by the ministry of manpower and BPJS Employment, in 2024 the compliance rate in the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the industrial sector was still found to be 62%, which remains relatively low. This study aims to determine the factors associated with occupational safety and health (OSH) knowledge and discipline in utilizing personal protective equipment (PPE) among garment staff at&nbsp; CV. BAJ, located in Sialang Village, Sayurmatinggi Subdistrict, South Tapanuli Regency, in the year 2025 from November 2024 to May 2025. The research method used was quantitative with a cross-sectional approach, involving 30 respondents who work in the garment industry. The data analysis included univariate analytical approach used to present respondent characteristics, as well as Bivariate analysis through the Chi-square statistical test with a significance level of α = 0.005. The results showed a significant relationship between OSH knowledge and the of PPE (p=0,000), coupled with the correlation betweeen compliance plus PPE use (p = 0. 000). Since the p-value of&nbsp; 0. 000 is less than 0. 05, the relationship is considered statistically significant. </em></p> mellyaninasution melly Copyright (c) 2026 mellyaninasution melly https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-12-30 2025-12-30 4 2 1 7 https://ejournal.stikesdarmais.ac.id/index.php/jkmd/article/view/516 <p><em>The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is one of the essential preventive measures to reduce workplace accidents within the scope of Occupational&nbsp; Safety and Health (OSH).
