Estratto

L’osteoporosi è la malattia dell’osso più comune nella pratica dinica. La sua incidenza aumenta con l’età sino ad interessare la maggior parte della popolazione oltre l’ottava decade di vita. Negli Stati Uniti ne sono affetti oltre 25 milioni di persone [1, 2], mentre in Italia si stima che ci siano oggi, circa 3,5 milioni di donne ed 1 milione di uomini affetti da osteoporosi. Poiché nei prossimi 20 anni la percentuale della popolazione italiana al di sopra dei 65 anni d’età aumenterà del 25%, ci si deve attendere un proporzionale incremento dell’incidenza dell’osteoporosi. Il rischio di andare incontro ad una frattura su base osteoporotica a carico del radio, dei corpi vertebrali o del femore prossimale è di circa il 15% per ogni sito sopraelencato e raggiunge il 40% per un qualsiasi sito.
