Thanks to recent development of science and technology, economic standard has been improved and life expectation has been gradually increased. Accordingly, disease aspect and demand for health have been changed in the concept from conventional center of disease to health improvement As the health issue in middle and senior age has also been vital in the national health, osteoporosis, one of the physical maladies occuring in these age group, is on the rise as a matter of important concern so that the researches on the osteoporosis have being accomplished actively in several medical domains. Research has been earned out for 735 examined objects, who have received medical examination of bone mineral density in the volunteer medical service of Daegu and Kyungbuk province for recent 4 years. The result indicated that serious osteoporosis prevailed over osteoporosis for male while osteopenia was majority to osteoporosis and that abnormal bone mineral density was more prominent than normal bone mineral density for both male and female. This study is to present basic data which is indispensible to preparation of senior citizen dominated society afterward, investigating the prevalence rate of osteoporosis.
