| Popis: | Osteoporosis is a major health disease that is increasing in Asia especially given the rapidly aging population in many of the countries. A major aim of the management of osteoporosis is to prevent the next fracture from happening and its attendant morbidity and possible mortality. A failure to identify a possible secondary cause of osteoporosis might lead to suboptimal benefits of treatment or possibly treatment failure. This article aims to use a series of cases in order to best illustrate the approach to the screening of secondary causes of osteoporosis and highlight learning points from each case with a slant towards the management of patients in Asia, focusing on the East and South East Asia (SEA). |
