Pre-test and post -test knowledge score comparison was done with the help of paired t-test and t-value was 11.55 and P value 2.05 at 0.05 level of significance respectively. The pre-test knowledge level 73% respondents were having inadequate knowledge and 26.67% were having moderate knowledge and the post-test knowledge level 50% respondents were having adequate knowledge and 50% were having moderate knowledge. that there was significant association found between selected demographic variable education with pre-test knowledge score related to osteoporosis and its prevention among menopausal women.
