Abstract:
PURPOSE OF REVIEW:Patients with osteoporosis suffer from the morbidity and mortality associated with resultant fractures. The number of persons at risk for fractures is increasing as the US population ages. This review addresses preventive strategies that can be used to decrease the risk of minimal trauma fractures. RECENT FINDINGS:Dietary and lifestyle modifications and screening to identify individuals most likely to benefit from pharmacologic interventions, important components of osteoporosis prevention, will be discussed. Currently available osteoporosis therapies and fall prevention, which should be utilized in those at increased risk of fracture, will be reviewed. SUMMARY:The ultimate goal of implementing a multipronged osteoporosis preventive program is to improve function and quality of life in later life.
