N2  - This study was conducted to evaluate body balance in postmenopausal  women with normal and low bone mineral density (BMD). A sample of sixty  postmenopausal women aging 50 to 65 yrs were assigned according to the  assessment of BMD by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) into 3  groups: normal BMD group (T- score >-1), osteopenic BMD group (T- score <  -1 and >-2.5) and osteoporotic group (T- score<-2.5). Evaluation was  performed through assessment of balance using Biodex Balance System as  overall stability index (OSI), anterior- posterior stability index (APSI) and  medial- lateral stability index (MLSI). Results revealed that: Overall stability  indices showed non significant difference between normal group and  osteopenic group, normal group and osteoporotic group, osteopenic group and  osteoporotic group (P= 0.568), (P= 0.992), and (P= 0.697) respectively and  Anterior/ posterior stability indices showed non significant difference between  normal group and osteopenic group, normal group and osteoporotic group and  osteopenic group and osteoporotic group (P= 0.703), (P= 0.849) and (P= 0.411)  respectively. Medial/ lateral stability indices showed non significant difference  between normal group and osteopenic group, normal group and osteoporotic  group and osteopenic group and osteoporotic group (P= 0.374),(P= 0.363) and  (P= 0.991) respectively. It could be concluded that there was non significant  difference in the postural balance between the postmenopausal women with  normal BMD and those with osteopenia or osteoporosis
