Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a common condition among older adults that leads to increased susceptibility to fracture, which is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Antiresorptive agents such as bisphosphonates or denosumab are recommended for patients at high fracture risk. Anabolic treatment with parathyroid hormone analogs (such as teriparatide and abaloparatide) and sclerostin inhibitors (such as romosozumab) can be considered for very high-risk individuals.
