title: Osteoporosis in Sweden.
abstract: Sweden has one of the highest incidences of hip fractures in the world and we have started to consider osteoporosis as an important disease. We have created guidelines for BMD measurements and the recommendations for treatment are based on risk assessment. New guidelines for treatment with drugs will soon be developed by the Swedish FDA.
