The term 'osteoporosis' describes both a process of decreasing bone density and also the clinical outcome of fracture. The research approach for the study was the quantitative (exploratory survey research). Majority of postmenopausal women (81%) were having osteoporosis, and the remaining 19 percent did not have osteoporosis. The findings indicate that there is lack of knowledge among most of the postmenopausal women regarding prevention and management of osteoporosis and hence there is need to give information to post-menopausal women regarding prevention and management of osteoporosis.
术语“骨质疏松症”既描述了骨密度降低的过程，也描述了骨折的临床后果。该研究的方法是定量研究（探索性调查研究）。大多数绝经后女性（81%）患有骨质疏松症，其余19%没有骨质疏松症。研究结果表明，大多数绝经后女性对骨质疏松症的预防和管理缺乏了解，因此有必要向绝经后女性提供有关骨质疏松症预防和管理的信息。
