Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals 98% of women partially aware of osteoporosis screening, highlighting barriers.

Key Points

  • Only 1.3% of participants were fully aware of the importance of osteoporosis screening.
  • Significant associations with awareness included age and previous osteoporosis diagnosis (p < 0.001).
  • Obstacles to screening included lack of doctor advice, worries about other diseases, and financial factors.
  • Despite being preventable, awareness of osteoporosis screening remains critically low among perimenopausal women.
