Secondary Prevention of Osteoporosis Through Assessment of Individual and Multiple Risk Factors.

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a chronic progressive bone disease where the bone tissue resorption exceeds its regenerative capacities. Such a process leads to the reduction of bBMD), and distortion of trabecular microarchitectonics, which creates the basis for an increased fracture risk on a "low trauma" for osteoporosis patients. The notion of low trauma implies a stressor that will not cause a fracture in a healthy person under normal circumstances.
