[Prevention and non-hormone therapy of osteoporosis].
Osteoporosis is an important age-related disease, constituting a major risk of fracture in the elderly, and in postmenopausal women in particular. The main aim of any therapy for osteoporosis is to prevent fractures. Primary prevention attempts to increase peak bone mass by diet and exercise. Secondary prevention aims to prevent bone loss after the menopause by the use of drugs (HRT, calcitonin, bisphosphonates, etc) and is more efficient strategy.
