Abstract
Osteoporosis is major public health problem affecting one in three women over the age of fifty. Decreased bone density associated with osteoporosis makes bones brittle, and spinal fractures affect one in every three women, wrist and hip fractures one in every six, This leads to rapid deterioration in health and often death. Objectives:To assess Healthy safety measurement ,To determine the relationship between the socio demographic characteristics, reproductive data and safety measurement among women with osteoporosis.
Methodology:
A descriptive study design was conducted on Non- Probability ( purposive sample) of (90) women who have suffering from osteoporosis attend to (DEXA Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) unit in Merjan Teaching Hospital in Hilla City /Babylon governarate. A questionnaire has been used as a tool of data collection and consists of three part for the period of 9th of February to April 20th 2014.
