Objective: To analyze the profile of women regarding sociodemographic, reproductive, and health factors related to osteoporosis care in Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2024 with 405 women aged 40 or older, treated at an outpatient clinic in the interior of the state of Mato Grosso. Sociodemographic and health data were collected through structured questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted using R software. Results: A significant correlation was observed between bone densitometry testing and receiving professional guidance, indicating that awareness influences adherence to preventive care. Furthermore, women who reported greater knowledge about osteoporosis had higher adherence to preventive screenings. Conclusion: The study highlighted important gaps in osteoporosis care among adult and elderly women, especially regarding knowledge of the disease and low bone densitometry performance. Women who received guidance from healthcare professionals showed greater adherence to treatment and greater participation in preventive screenings, reinforcing the central role of health education. The results highlight the need for ongoing educational strategies and specific public policies to expand osteoporosis screening and prevention, contributing to early detection and a better quality of life for this population.
