Abstract: Objective To understand the current situation and demand of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and to provide references for health intervention. Methods A total of 316 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in the community were investigated by cluster random sampling, and EpiData 3.1 and SPSS 22.0 were applied for data entry and statistical analysis. Results There were significant differences in the number of families and the family history of osteoporosis in patients with varying degrees of osteoporosis (χ²=7.436, P=0.024 and χ²=8.415, P=0.015); no significant differences were observed in behavior habits, exercise and diet among patients with different severity of osteoporosis (all P>0.05); the proportion of tooth loosening and shedding in patients with severe osteoporosis was higher than who were in general condition, and statistic difference was found between them as well (31.6% vs. 17.5%, χ²=7.970, P=0.019). In patients with severe osteoporosis, the proportion of patients with knowledge of falls was lower than those who did not know fall related factors in terms of the number of falls and had a statistically significant difference (13.5% vs. 33.3%, χ²=4.571, P=0.033); the primary source of the knowledge of osteoporosis comes from television or radio (98.3%). The most desirable form of health education are expert lectures for patients (91.1%). The most anticipated content is the knowledge of preventive health care (66.4%). The most desirable way of community is the cooperation between doctors and patients (60.1%). Conclusion Further measures should be adopted to reduce the effects of risk factors of osteoporosis and fracture based on the needs of patients.
