A convenience sampling method was employed to recruit older patients with osteoporosis from the osteoporosis departments of two campuses of a tertiary orthopaedic hospital in Henan Province from April to July 2026.

Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age, gender, marital status, average monthly household income, living alone, fall prevention education, barthel index, depression and perceived social support were significant influencing factors (all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.05), collectively explaining 42.0% of the total variance.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Self-awareness of fall risk in older patients with osteoporosis varied across different dimensions and was influenced by a combination of multiple interrelated factors.
