Examines fracture risk reduction in older adults using various osteoporosis therapies, indicating effective management strategies.
Osteoporosis is a progressive skeletal disease involving bone tissue deterioration and a loss in bone mass. Primary osteoporosis affects older adults > 70 years of age and is characterised by a sustained decline in bone mineral density and an increase in fracture risk. Pharmacological treatment comprises of anti-resorptive agents as first line therapy and anabolic agents for patients at very high fracture risk, used either individually or in sequential treatment.
