the importance of identifying patients at risk for a fracture due to osteoporosis
April 2008
New guidelines emphasize the importance of identifying patients at risk for a fracture due to osteoporosis.
More than 10 million people over 50 have osteoporosis...and many more are at risk. Most don't realize it until they break a bone.
The new guidelines recommend bone density testing for all women age 65 and over...plus all MEN 70 and older. About 20% of men over 50 will have a fracture due to osteoporosis.
