Abstract: | Prevention of fragility fractures in older people has become a public
health priority, although the most appropriate and cost-effective
strategy remains unclear. In the present statement, the Interest group
on falls and fracture prevention of the European union geriatric
medicine society (EUGMS), in collaboration with the International
association of gerontology and geriatrics for the European region
(IAGG-ER), the European union of medical specialists (EUMS), the
Fragility fracture network (FFN), the International osteoporosis
foundation (IOF) - European society for clinical and economic aspects of
osteoporosis and osteoarthritis (ECCEO), outlines its views on the main
points in the current debate in relation to the primary and secondary
prevention of falls, the diagnosis and treatment of bone fragility, and
the place of combined falls and fracture liaison services for fracture
prevention in older people.. |
