[Protocol for osteoporosis screening in CPTS].

Abstract

Osteoporosis is a chronic disease that affects bone density and quality, making the skeleton more fragile and susceptible to fracture in the event of minor trauma, or even spontaneously in the most severe cases. It seriously affects patients' quality of life and generates considerable costs for healthcare systems. Given this situation, early detection and management of this disease is crucial. With this in mind, the Communauté Professionnelle Territoriale de Santé (CPTS) in southern Toulouse has developed a care pathway based on a cooperation protocol designed to facilitate screening for the disease.
