Assessment of fracture risk and its application to screening for postmenopausal osteoporos
L. Alexeeva,P. Burkhardt,C. Christiansen,C. Cooper,P. Delmas,O. Johnell,C. Johnston,J. Kanis,P. Lips,Lee J. Melton,P. Meunier,Ego Seeman,J. Stepan,A. Tosteson,N. Khaltaev,J. P. Bonjour,H. Gong-Yi,R. Lindsay +17 more
TL;DR: There is little evidence that osteoporosis can usefully be tackled by a public health policy to influence risk factors such as smoking, exercise and nutrition, so the selective use of screening techniques will improve the cost-benefit ratio of intervention.

B.L. Riggs,Lee J. Melton +1 more
TL;DR: The incidence of hip fracture, and, presumably, other osteoporotic fractures will increase four-fold worldwide during the next 50 years and the attendant costs will threaten the viability of the healthcare systems of many countries.
