Introduction Regular physical activity has positive effects on physical, mental and social status of individual especially osteoporosis prevention. Health policy makers have planned to encourage people to do more physical activity. Trans-theoretical model is identified as a comprehensive model for physical activity behavior. Therefore, this study aimed to determine using trans-theoretical model to physical activity behavior in osteoporosis prevention. Material and Method: In a cross-sectional study, this study 269 women who were selected from all the health centers of Khorramabad according to the inclusion criteria of the study and through two stage cluster and systematic sampling method. The tools for data collection were valid and reliable questionnaires of demographic variables and construct of trans-theoretical model as stages of change and physical activity. The data was analyzed using SPSS soft ware. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 38.72±7.003, and the mean light weekly physical activity was 38.83±56.400. The results showed that 43.5% of the women were in the pre-contemplation stage, and 9.4% in the maintenance stage in doing regular physical activity. Also, in terms of the ranking of stages of change in physical activity, 82.9% were in the non-action phase and 17.1% in the action phase. The results also showed that the construct of self-efficacy had the highest predictive power for the preventive behavior. Discussion: The results showed that self-efficacy among the constructs of the Trans-theoretical Model was the only predictive construct for regular physical activity osteoporosis prevention behavior.
