Introduction and goal: Thirty years ago, osteoporosis was not described as a disease and was considered an unwanted consequence of the natural aging process. Over the years, the assumptions of doctors in the treatment of osteoporosis have become correct. Today, thanks to them, osteoporosis can be prevented. Future generations will experience significantly fewer bone fractures, pain and disability resulting from osteoporosis compared to generations past. The word osteoporosis comes from the Greek dictionary and translates as "porous bones". The name is suitable to describe the process that takes place in the bones. Osteoporosis is described in the literature as a disease that affects the bones, resulting in brittle bones that become prone to fractures. The goal of the research was to get an insight into the awareness of the general population about the concept of osteoporosis, the foods that the population consumes and the frequency of physical activity in order to further compare the extent to which awareness agrees with everyday habits. Methods: The research was conducted in the period from April 3, 2024. until April 20, 2024. through an online survey posted on social networks. The statistical analysis of the obtained data was performed in the Microsoft Excel program. 325 participants took part in the research. Results: The research showed that the information of the general population about osteoporosis is very good and is in line with the daily habits of the participants. Conclusion: Osteoporosis definitely changes a person's way of life and thinking and sets some limitations. However, the quality of life is still in the hands of the person diagnosed with the disease. It depends on the ability to adapt to new situations. Proper adaptation to new life habits determines the degree of a person's independence.
