Methods During the 2011 Pink October campaign hosted by the Taiwan Breast Cancer Alliance and the Taiwanese Osteoporosis Association, questionnaires on osteoporosis awareness and FRAX variables were distributed. Data from participants aged 40?years and older (n?=?807) were analyzed. Comparisons were made between those aged below and above 50?years, and among different tertiles of predicted fracture risk groups. Results Mean age was 56.0?±?7.7?years. Only half (52.7%) showed a high level of osteoporosis awareness. Older survivors were more likely to exhibit higher awareness levels (55.0% vs. 44.8%; p?<?0.05). Moreover, osteoporosis awareness increased among higher predicted 10-year major osteoporosis fracture risk groups. Older survivors (age???50?years) also had a higher body mass index, higher prevalence of secondary osteoporosis, and higher predicted 10-year fracture risk (p?<?0.05). Conclusion Osteoporosis awareness levels were higher among older and higher fracture risk breast cancer survivors. Educational program and osteoporosis prevention strategies may start with younger and lower fracture risk breast cancer survivors to increase the awareness in order to reduce under-management of osteoporosis. ? 2016[SDGs]SDG3[SDGs]SDG5glucocorticoid; adult; Article; body mass; breast cancer; cancer survivor; drug use; female; Fracture Risk Assessment Tool algorithm; fragility fracture; groups by age; high risk population; hip fracture; human; low risk population; major clinical study; menopause; middle aged; osteoporosis; patient attitude; prevalence; priority journal; rheumatoid arthritis; risk assessment; secondary osteoporosis; smokingjournal article10.1016/j.ijge.2014.10.0042-s2.0-84959422665
