Osteoporosis is a significant medical and financial issue. Low bone mass and micro-architectural degradation of bone tissue are the hallmarks of osteoporosis, a systemic skeletal disease that increases bone fragility and fracture susceptibility. It affects a lot of postmenopausal women. The purpose of the current study was to determine how well postmenopausal women residing in a few rural regions of Jandiala Guru, Amritsar, were informed about osteoporosis (Punjab). Data were gathered from a sample of 100 postmenopausal women living in rural Jandiala Guru using a self-structured questionnaire. The results of the study showed that post-menopausal women have average level of knowledge regarding osteoporosis. The majority of postmenopausal women (43.0 percent) had an average level of understanding of osteoporosis, according to the survey. The findings revealed that the majority of subjects (41.0%) were in the 45–50 age range, the majority (48.0%) had a secondary education, the majority (64.0%) were self-employed, and the majority (37.0%) got their information from newspapers and magazines. The majority of subjects (47.0 percent) had an income range of Rs. 5000–10,000. The study's findings indicate that postmenopausal women had average levels of knowledge about osteoporosis. Therefore, it is necessary to examine it and offer knowledge about preventative measures.
