Fractures resulting from osteoporosis become increasingly common in women after age 55 years and men after age 65 years, resulting in substantial bone-associated morbidities, and increased mortality and health-care costs. Research advances have led to a more accurate assessment of fracture risk and have increased the range of therapeutic options ...

Osteoporosis constitutes a major financial burden for society, which will increase in the near future owing to the ageing of the population. Women are the most common victims of involutional osteoporosis because of post-menopausal bone loss induced by oestrogenic deficit.

Medical Clinics of North America, 2023
Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease in adults and confers significant morbidity and mortality in women. Universal screening is recommended for women above the age of 65 years; however, screening rates remain low. Bisphosphonates are the treatment of choice despite a decline in their use due to concerns about rare side effects.

Osteoporosis, one of the most prevalent diseases associated with aging, is characterized by a low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue leading to increased susceptibility of fracture. The management of osteoporotic patients relies especially on the static measurement of bone mass as bone mineral and dynamic changes of bone turn

Osteoporosis is a common systemic skeletal disorder resulting in bone fragility and increased fracture risk. Evidence-based screening strategies improve identification of patients who are most likely to benefit from drug treatment to prevent fracture.

Medical Clinics of North America, 2003
Osteoporosis has a tremendous impact on the lives of many postmenopausal women. It is encouraging that effective treatments for this disease abound and the challenge is to ensure that those most in need of diagnosis or therapy obtain adequate care. Further research is expected to clarify the role of combination therapy or sequential use of different ...

The development of accurate methods for measuring bone density has made it possible to evaluate more effectively methods for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Calcium supplements are not required in early life for people with a normal dietary intake of the substance, but may reduce the risk of fractures in postmenopausal women.

Osteoporosis is a skeletal condition in which there is a loss of bone mass, evident radiographically by diffuse rarefaction or clinically by overt fractures. It is a widespread disorder of the elderly. Several forms of osteopenia, including osteomalacia, endocrinopathy, and marrow disorders, simulate osteoporosis. In this article, there is a discussion

The Nurse Practitioner, 2005
Bone is a complex organ which contains an organic matrix which serves as scaffolding, includes mineral as calcium distributed in a pattern providing structure and serves as an ion reservoir for the body. Throughout life it dynamically changes in response to changes in activity, body mass, and weight bearing.

Osteopenia, in the form of osteoporosis, is a common complication of chronic cholestatic liver diseases and, although its cause is poorly understood, it appears to be intimately related to the cholestasis itself. With more patients surviving longer with successful liver transplantation, the clinical significance of such osteopenia has increased, and a ...
