Popis: The purpose of this study was to compare the inflammatory biomarkers in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and those with normal bone mineral density (BMD).A total of 850 postmenopausal women aged 50 to 65 were randomly selected for participation in this cross-sectional investigation. 100 women displayed normal BMD, while 101 were diagnosed with osteoporosis, as determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Biochemical techniques were used to quantify tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) levels, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and interleukin-6. The area under the curve (AUC) for the diagnosis of osteoporosis was calculated using receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curves.A significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of age, menopause age, education level, and BMI (p
