TLDR
It is concluded that previous history of fracture confers an increased risk of fracture of substantial importance beyond that explained by measurement of BMD.

European guidance for the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women

TL;DR: In this paper, the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and Bone disease (subsequently the International osteopo- rosis Foundation) published guidelines for the diagnosis and management of osteoporrosis in a European setting.

FRAX™ and the assessment of fracture probability in men and women from the UK

TL;DR: The models provide a framework which enhances the assessment of fracture risk in both men and women by the integration of clinical risk factors alone and/or in combination with BMD.

Osteoporosis in the European Union: medical management, epidemiology and economic burden. A report prepared in collaboration with the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industry Associations (EFPIA).

TL;DR: In spite of the high social and economic cost of osteoporosis, a substantial treatment gap and projected increase of the economic burden driven by the aging populations, the use of pharmacological interventions to prevent fractures has decreased in recent years, suggesting that a change in healthcare policy is warranted.

Risk factors for hip fracture in white women. Study of Osteoporotic Fractures Research Group.

TL;DR: Women with multiple risk factors and low bone density have an especially high risk of hip fracture and maintaining body weight, walking for exercise, avoiding long-acting benzodiazepines, minimizing caffeine intake, and treating impaired visual function are among the steps that may decrease the risk.

Meta-analysis of how well measures of bone mineral density predict occurrence of osteoporotic fractures

TL;DR: Measurements of bone mineral density can predict fracture risk but cannot identify individuals who will have a fracture, and a programme of screening menopausal women for osteoporosis by measuring bone density cannot be recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiology and outcomes of osteoporotic fractures.

TL;DR: In this paper, epidemiological research was done and used to identify individuals at high risk of disabling fractures, thereby allowing careful allocation of expensive treatments to individuals most in need, which could potentially be as expensive as medical treatment of fractures.
