Abstract
The number of fractures related to osteoporosis is expected to increase in the next years because of the aging of the population and an increase in the number of osteoporotic elderly patients at high risk of falls. Few patients with osteoporosis, mostly women over 60, benefit from screening, even after fracture despite recent recommendations (imminent risk for fracture, severe fracture). We needed the involvement of Health Authorities to take care of fractured patients (Fracture Liaison Services, opportunistic osteoporosis screening) but also before fracture (systematic screening of women over 60).
