Introduction With a worldwide ageing population, the importance of the prevention and
management of osteoporotic fragility fractures is increasing over time. In this review, we …

Osteoporosis is a major public health problem through associated fragility fractures. The
most common sites of fracture are the hip, spine and wrist, and these have an enormous …

The goal of our study was to estimate the prevalence of osteoporosis and low bone mass
based on bone mineral density (BMD) at the femoral neck and the lumbar spine in adults 50 …

The risk of major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) after a first MOF is increased over the whole
duration of follow-up, but the imminent risk is even higher. If the acute increment in risk in the …

Objective: To revise and expand the 1996 Osteoporosis Society of Canada clinical practice
guidelines for the management of osteoporosis, incorporating recent advances in diagnosis …

Prevalent vertebral fractures and baseline bone mineral density (BMD) predict subsequent
fracture risk. The objective of this analysis is to examine whether baseline vertebral fracture …

Osteoporosis represents a major public health problem through its association with fragility
fractures. All osteoporotic fractures increase patient morbidity; however, fractures of the hip …

Background: Recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-84)(PTH) increases bone mass
and strength and improves bone quality by stimulating new bone formation. Objective: To …

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a prevalent vertebral deformity predicts
mortality and fractures in both men and women. In the city of Malmö, 598 individuals (298 …

Vertebral fractures in older women signal an increased risk of additional osteoporotic
fractures. To identify risk factors for first vertebral fractures, we studied 5822 women≥ 65 …
