Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Osteoporosis, prevalent among the elderly population, is primarily diagnosed through bone mineral density (BMD) testing, which has limitations in early detection. This study aims to develop and validate a machine learning approach for osteoporosis identification by integrating demographic data, laboratory and questionnaire data, offering a more practical and effective screening alternative.
