SummaryGuidance is provided in a European setting on the assessment and treatment of postmenopausal women with or at risk from osteoporosis.IntroductionThe European Foundation for Osteoporosis and Bone disease (subsequently the International Osteoporosis Foundation) published guidelines for the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis in 1997. This manuscript updates these in a European setting.MethodsThe following areas are reviewed: the role of bone mineral density measurement for the diagnosis of osteoporosis and assessment of fracture risk; general and pharmacological management of osteoporosis; monitoring of treatment; assessment of fracture risk; case finding strategies; investigation of patients; health economics of treatment.Results and conclusionsA platform is provided on which specific guidelines can be developed for national use.

The Recent Prevalence of Osteoporosis and Low Bone Mass in the United States Based on Bone Mineral Density at the Femoral Neck or Lumbar Spine (2014, background): “Other groups such as the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis and the World Health Organization have recommended that population estimates of osteoporosis and low bone mass be based only on the femoral neck.((3,4))”
Maximizing bone mineral mass gain during growth for the prevention of fractures in the adolescents and the elderly. (2010, background): “At any given age, the key determinants of fracture risk, bone mineral mass and bone structure, result from the difference between the amounts of bone gained and lost [1,8].”
