Summary

Osteoporosis is a common age-related disorder characterized best as impaired bone strength that contributes greatly to fractures. Changes in bone metabolism that occur with aging produce health consequences including physical debility and increased mortality. Techniques to screen for osteoporosis include both risk factor assessments tools and x-ray technologies. Bone health nutrition and drug therapies are used to treat osteoporosis. Four additional common metabolic bone conditions of older adults associated with increased fractures are osteomalacia, hyperparathyroidism, Paget’s Disease, and renal osteodystrophy.
