Gap Evident Between Knowledge, Behavior In Women’s Health PITTSBURGH (Allegheny Co.) "Do as I say, not as I do,” may be the current message of millions of women. A new cam paign for educating women about the relationship between preven tive nutrition services and a reduced risk of heart disease, breast cancer and osteoporosis aims to change tips message.

She notes, “Pre vention is a major component in controlling health care costs. Nutrition is important since it is the cornerstone of a healthy lifes tyle. The majority of food and nutrition decisions are made by women. Younger children, espe cially females, frequently look to the mother or other females as role models for health and nutrition behaviors.” The gaps between knowledge and behavior have roots in both science and tradition. Women traditionally concentrate on the health behaviors of other family members first! This applies to food as well as to taking time for preventive measures such as regu lar medical check-ups and exer cise. The scientific gap is closing as researchers study and report on the issues unique to the health of women.
