title: [Fracture prevention in primary osteoporosis. Benefits of physical activity and proper nutrition].
abstract: It is not possible to cure manifested osteoporosis. Multiple vertebral body fractures result in static insufficiency of the spine. At most any form of therapy can prevent a worsening of the situation. In this connection however, promotion of mobility and flexibility plays an important role in increasing the quality of life. Probably muscle training alone is capable of preventing progressive age-related bone loss or even to increase the strength of the bone in the elderly patient who has no other systemic disease and whose diet is properly balanced.
