| Objective To analyze the present situation and trend of osteoporosis research in China, and to provide a reference for the continuous development of scientific research in this field. Methods Classification study on the retrieved literatures was implemented with bibliometric method. Results A total of 23410 literatures were retrieved in the field of osteoporosis in China from 2013 to 2017. Most of them were journal articles, master and doctoral degree thesis, domestic and international conference papers, and newspaper literature, with the number of 18081, 2750, 2193, and 311, respectively, and the constituent ratio 77.24%, 11.75%, 9.37%, 1.33%, respectively.
