title: [New and old strategies against osteoporosis].
abstract: Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength predisposing to an increased risk of fracture that affects both cortical bone and trabecular bone. Osteoporosis may be either primary or secondary. Primary osteoporosis can be distinguished into two types: diffuse or local. The treatment can be managed through drugs, exercise and lifestyle. The aim of this paper is to highlight new and old therapeutic strategies.
