چکیده
Osteoporosis mostly affects postmenopausal women and substantially increases their risk of fracture. Fractures associated with osteoporosis (fragility fractures) have a major impact on quality of life, mortality, and health care costs. Therefore, it is important to prevent fragility fractures in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis. The ideal osteoporosis treatment is a drug therapy with the efficacy against vertebral, nonvertebral, and hip fractures, good tolerability, good patient adherence, and low cost.
