Osteoporosis, in recent years, has emerged as a foremost public health problematic of global importance. As
the world population is aging as a result of increased life expectancy due to advances in healthcare, the
prevalence of osteoporosis is also constantly on the rise. Due to this reduced bone strength. An osteoporotic
person is at increased risk of developing fragility fractures. These fragility fractures predominantly involve hip,
vertebral column and sometimes other skeletal sites like radius. Osteoporosis associated fractures are can
result in disability substantial pain, suffering, and possibly even death of the exaggerated persons. Asymptomatic
nature of osteoporosis in its early stages makes it one of the most under diagnosed clinical conditions and a
significant proportion of patients directly present with fragility fractures. In both male and woman controls,
cancellous bone mass accelerated closer to the femoral head and the fee of alternate turned into gender
independent. Cancellous bone mass was similar in cases and controls in any respect locations. The huge
physical, psychological and economic burden due to osteoporosis at personal, family and community level
warrants effective interventions to prevent and manage osteoporosis to minimize this burden. This research
work proposes to measure the occurrence of osteoporosis and osteopenia as assessed by bone inanimate
density using Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) and to associate the occurrence of osteopenia and
osteoporosis at lumbar vertebrae and hip with a view to identifying site-specific osteoporosis.
