Estimating the Extent of Missed Opportunities for Osteoporosis Treatment Before Hip Fracture Occurrence

Hip fractures (HF) are among the most serious consequences of osteoporosis. Many individuals who subsequently sustain a HF may already fulfill recognized criteria for fracture risk assessment, bone mineral density (BMD) evaluation, or anti-osteoporosis treatment before the event occurs, yet remain unidentified and untr...

Bone health in older men.

Senile osteoporosis in men remains under-recognized despite substantial fracture-related morbidity and higher post-fracture mortality than in women. Age-related bone loss in men involves progressive trabecular thinning, cortical deterioration, and declining sex steroid levels, while secondary causes, including hypogona...

Ten tips to reduce fracture risk by non-pharmacologic interventions in CKD-associated osteoporosis

ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated osteoporosis is present in approximately 25% of all patients with CKD. The occurrence increases as kidney function declines, with prevalences up to 75% in elderly dialysis patients. It is often undiagnosed due to the perception that limited treatment options are availabl...
