  "abstract": "Background:: Osteoporosis is a progressive reduction in bone mass without alteration in bone composition, leading to increased bone fragility and a higher risk of fractures.\n\nAim of the Study:: This study aimed to assess the level of awareness of osteoporosis among Saudi women and to examine the relationship between their demographic characteristics and level of knowledge.\n\nMethods:: A cross-sectional study design was employed, involving 382 participants recruited through a self-administered web-based questionnaire.\n\nResults:: The findings revealed that approximately two-thirds of participants (67.5%) were aged between 20 and 30 years and were single. The majority (67.3%) reported obtaining their information from mass media sources, while more than half demonstrated a poor level of knowledge regarding osteoporosis.\n\nConclusions:: These results highlight a significant gap in awareness among Saudi women, indicating the need for targeted educational interventions and public health programs to improve knowledge and promote preventive practices related to osteoporosis.",
