Osteoporosis is a worldwide disease that seriously affects the quality of life and survival rate of the elderly. The detection of bone biomarkers will provide  supplementary information  on bone mineral density, contributing to the accurate diagnosis of osteoporosis and better health care for prevention. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of oxidative stress markers—8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoGsn) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGsn) in the assessment of osteoporosis. We conducted a cross-sectional study among menopausal women with a mean (standard deviation) age of 62.967 (7.798) years old ( n  = 151). Participants were recruited for the bone mineral density (BMD) assessment, blood and urinary samples. Urinary 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-guanine concentrations were measured by ultra-performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The urinary 8-oxoGsn/Cre value differed significantly between normal and osteoporotic participants ( p  &lt; 0.001), while the 8-oxodGsn/Cre value did not ( p  = 0.720). Even after adjusting for the age and body mass index, the BMD was still associated with urinary 8-oxoGsn/Cre value. ROC analysis showed that 8-oxoGsn has a strong diagnostic value for osteoporosis (AUC = 0.744). The results show for the first time that 8-oxoGsn may be a biomarker for the future diagnosis of osteoporosis in women.
