The aim of this study was to compare the knowledge and health-seeking behaviour of women over 40 years old and the physiotherapy students on osteoporosis. The study group is characterized by high knowledge of the factors affecting osteoporosis and the basic symptoms. Women over the age of 40 more often have problems with mention of the symptoms than students. We should increase the educational activities in symptoms and prevention of osteoporosis as well as the promotion of physical activity.
