This study aimed to analyzes the correlation between the density of the cochlea otic capsule and the ear bone towards the femur and spine density in patients with reduction in bone density. This was a cross-sectional observational type analytic retrospective study analyzing 30 samples of patients with a reduction in bone density that have HRCT Mastoid examination results during 2017 at RSSA Malang 's osteoporosis polyclinic. From 30 samples, most were female with an age range of 51–60 years old. The average femur, spine, ear bone and cochlea otic capsule of the osteoporosis group was lower than the osteopenia group. The spine density was significantly correlated with the otic capsule den sity. There was a positive significant correlation between the spine density towards the otic caps...
