The current study confirmed that maternity nursing students had average knowledge about osteoporosis. There is a gap between the students' beliefs about osteoporosis and their daily lifestyle. Therefore, a special attention should be paid to raise the level of osteoporosis awareness among nursing students through health education program. as well as broader integration of osteoporosis in nursing curricula is urgently warranted.
