Osteoporosis is a progressive systemic skeletal disease characterized by reduced bone mass/density and micro architectural deterioration of bone tissues. It is related to various factors including menopause and aging. It is the most common chronic metabolic bone disease, which is characterized by increased bone fragility. Menopause is a natural biological process leading to transition from reproductive to non-reproductive state experienced universally by all woman due to ovarian failure. Menopause is truly a bio-psycho-socio-cultural phenomenon and highly amenable to incorporation within a life course perspective of health.

The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge of post-menopausal women in selected rural areas at Bangalore and improve their understanding and knowledge about prevention of post-menopausal Osteoporosis, through structure teaching program.
