Abstract
Incidence as well prevalence of osteoporosis is continuously increasing. The same trend we see in its complications, i.e. osteoporotic fractures.
Primary and secondary prevention is an imperative of good health care. Preventive use of calcium and vitamin D supplementation is one of the good examples, as well as the use of hormonal substitution and the use of selective estrogen modulators (SERM).
