Objective: To determine the incidence of densitometric osteoporosis in elderly postmenopausal women. Material and Methods: We conducted an observational, prospective cross-sectional and descriptive and non-probability. 146 Patients were included women older adults who were a bone densitometry test complete in the service of densitometry of the center Global medical diagnosis. Results: Of the 146 cases, found 8 (5.48 %) and normal densitometry 138 (94.52 %) abnormal; of which we have 38 (26.03 % of the cases of osteopenia and 100 (68.49 %) cases of osteoporosis. Of the 100 cases of osteoporosis 6 (6 %) only presented commitment in column, 25 (25 %) only presented commitment in forearm, 49 (49 %) showed commitment in column and forearm, 3 (3 %) showed commitment in hips and forearm, and only 17 (17 %) cases committed the three regions: spine, hips and forearm. Osteoporosis is higher in women older than 75 years to 84 years; since the age of 85 to 94 years, where is no longer found normal cases. Conclusion: We concluded that in the majority of reviews densitometric which they are performed, the female sex older adult, osteoporosis is frequent. In our study, the 68.5 % of women have osteoporosis. It was shown that osteoporosis is higher in postmenopausal women who have greater weight, with 51 (70 %) of cases and smaller size, with 68 (74.7 %) of cases. It was concluded that the highest incidence of osteoporosis according to the three regions evaluated, is in the forearm with 95 (65.1 %) cases of osteoporosis. Key words: densitometry, osteoporosis, osteopenia
