Overview

NEW!

While both men and women can develop osteoporosis (OP), the chances of women developing OP are greater. The risk of OP increases further after a woman has reached menopause, which confers a four times higher risk of developing OP. In this module, we will take a look at the aetiology, prevalence, disease burden and diagnostic methods of postmenopausal OP (PMO), as well as explore the most commonly prescribed medication used in the prevention and treatment of PMO – bisphosphonates.
