Assessment
Risk Factors |
Postmenopausal women and men age >50 years if there is a history of ≥4cm height loss, kyphosis, recent or current long-term oral glucocorticoid therapy, or a Bone Mineral Density (BMD) T-score ≤ -2.5. |
Fracture probability in all those at #risk |
Anyone with the ^ risk factors should undergo a FRAX assessment (evaluate a patient’s 10-year probability of hip fracture and major osteoporotic fracture) |
For Intermediate Fracture probability |
In individuals at intermediate risk, bone mineral density (BMD) measurement should be performed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (a small amount of radiation to take pictures of different bones. These pictures are used to measure the density of the bones at the spine, hip, and forearm) |

Lifestyle and dietry
800IU cholecalciferol |
Calcium |
Vitamin D |
Weight-bearing exercise |
Falls |
Hip Protectors |
Stopping smoking, Reducing alcohol intake |

Exercise
Athletes have a 25% greater BMD than simply active people, and that active people have a 30% higher BMD compared to inactive people |
Physical activity during early age was more strongly associated with higher BMD at all sites than was physical activity in the past two years |
High-intensity resistance training may have added benefits for decreasing fracture risks by improving strength and balance |
Exercise should focus on strengthening back extension and may include weighted and unweighted prone position, extension exercises, isometric contraction of the paraspinal muscles and careful loading of the upper extremities |
