Prevention and Management of Osteoporosis - Report of a WHO Scientific Group. To help describe the nature and consequences of osteoporosis, as well as strategies for its prevention and management, a WHO Scientific Group meeting of international experts was held in Geneva, which resulted in this technical report. This monograph describes in detail normal bone development and the causes and risk factors for developing osteoporosis. The burden of osteoporosis is characterized in terms of mortality, morbidity, and economic costs. Methods for its prevention and treatment are discussed in detail for both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. For each approach, the strength of the scientific evidence is listed. The report also provides cost-analysis information for potential interventions, and discusses important aspects of developing national policies to deal with osteoporosis. Recommendations are made to the general population, care providers, health administrators, and researchers. Lastly, national organizations and support groups are listed by country.
