<b>16s RNA sequencing data of gut microbiota in postmenopausal women from shanghai, china</b>

This study aimed to identify whether and how the gut microbiome of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and osteopenia may differ from that of healthy individuals.Fecal samples were collected from 27 individuals with osteoporosis (OP), 44 individuals with osteopenia (ON), and 23 normal controls (NC). The composition of the gut microbial community was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.本研究旨在探究绝经后骨质疏松症（osteoporosis, OP）与骨量减少症（osteopenia, ON）女性患者的肠道菌群是否与健康人群存在差异，以及具体的差异模式与机制。本研究共纳入27例骨质疏松症患者、44例骨量减少症患者及23例健康对照（normal controls, NC），采集其粪便样本。采用16S rRNA基因测序技术对肠道微生物群落的组成进行分析。
