Pharmacological Treatment of Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis can be classified into two big categories, clinical osteoporosis and densitometric osteoporosis. Clinical osteoporosis involves a fragility fracture, and no densitometry is needed to start treatment. Densitometric osteoporosis is defined by means of a bone mineral density assessment. Treatment should be considered depending on the global fracture risk, and taking the densitometric ...
متن کاملNew approaches to pharmacological treatment of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis has been recognized as a major public health problem for less than two decades. The increasing incidence of fragility fractures, such as vertebral, hip, and wrist fractures, first became apparent from epidemiological studies in the early and mid-1980s, when effective treatment was virtually unavailable. Pharmacological therapies that effectively reduce the number of fractures by im...
متن کاملPharmacological therapy of osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease associated with an increased risk of fractures. Vertebral and hip fractures are associated with high mortality or loss of autonomy. The aim of this review is to explore the scientific evidence for current therapies for postmenopausal osteoporosis and fractures and to establish how to treat osteoporosis in clinical practice without risk for patients. We performed resear...
متن کاملOsteoporosis – a current view of pharmacological prevention and treatment
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most common bone disease, associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) and pathological fractures which lead to significant morbidity. It is defined clinically by a BMD of 2.5 standard deviations or more below the young female adult mean (T-score =-2.5). Osteoporosis was a huge global problem both socially and economically - in the UK alone, in 2011 £6 milli...
متن کاملPharmacological treatment of osteoporosis in the oldest old
The incidence of osteoporotic fractures increases with age. Consequently, the global prevalence of osteoporotic fractures will increase with the aging of the population. In old age, osteoporosis is associated with a substantial burden in terms of morbidity and mortality. Nevertheless, osteoporosis in old age continues to be underdiagnosed and undertreated. This may, at least partly, be explaine...
