Abstract :
[en] Osteoporosis (OP) is a major contributor to the global burden of disease and disability worldwide. Prevention and management of this disorder are of increasing importance, with pressure mounting from the ageing population. Studies that combined individuals with vertebral fractures who were either hospitalised or ambulatory indicated that the highest age-standardised rates were evident in South Korea, the US, and Hong Kong, while the lowest rate was in the UK. The burden associated with OP has been shown to be higher than for other common non-communicable diseases. There are data from Europe and the US demonstrating substantial disparities between the number of individuals at high fracture risk or who have experienced a low-trauma fracture and the number who receive appropriate assessment and treatment for OP. Fracture liaison services provide a system for the routine assessment and management of postmenopausal women and all men who have sustained a fragility fracture.
