Registry studies provide reliable information in epidemiological studies. In this study, the first of its kind in Türkiye, we reported the geographical distribution of osteoporosis. As expected, there were more osteoporosis patients in the more densely populated areas of the country. Secondary and tertiary care centers had more entries compared to primary care centers. The annual incidence of osteoporosis showed a declining trend over the years.
