abstract: A scoping workshop for a national guideline on the management of osteoporosis was carried out in 2003. To date, this is still under review. In the past few years there has been much controversy about who to treat and at what stage of the condition. In addition, there is debate on whether or not bone densitometry is needed before treatment in all cases.
