Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass with micro architectural deterioration of bone tissue leading to enhance bone fragility, thus increasing the susceptibility to fracture. Osteoporotic fractures in India occur commonly in both sexes, and may occur at a younger age than in the West. Healthy lifestyle can have a major positive impact on the bone metabolism and bone health of Indians. Thus, osteoporosis is a major public health problem in Indian especially in women. Low calcium intakes with extensive prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, increasing longevity, sex inequality, early menopause, genetic predisposition, lack of diagnostic facilities, and poor knowledge of bone health have contributed toward the high prevalence of osteoporosis. Present study  evaluate the factors of osteoporotic bone injury, all the subject were randomly selected from survey and their osteoporotic status and bones injury was observed with the help of specially designed questionnaire.
