Aims. The aims of this study were to identify the prevalence of osteoporosis and confirm the priority for health promotion program on the osteoporosis. Methods. 1,269 adults aged 18-84 years participated in this study from the Ansan Health Study sample. A questionnaire was used to evaluate the risk factors, and a Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry was used to measure the bone mineral density in the anteroposterior lumbar spine and femur. Collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 12.0 program. Results. BMD was decreased rapidly in females in their 50s and 60s and the overall incidence of osteoporosis based on the femur and the lumbar spine was 0.8% and 6.3% for males and 0.9% and 7.1% for females. Osteoporosis knowledge was significantly correlated with BMD. Conclusions. The results of this study can be applied to provide effective and practical implementation guidelines for osteoporosis prevention program.
