Study Finds One in Three Women Seeking Treatment for Bone Problems After Menopause Diagnosed With Osteoporosis; Experts Urge High-Risk Patients to 'Build Bone First, Then Resist Erosion'

A local study found that among women who sought medical help for bone health problems after menopause, one in three were diagnosed with osteoporosis and one in five were at extremely high risk of hip fracture. Scholars suggest that patients at extremely high fracture risk should adopt a 'build bone first, then resist erosion' treatment approach to reduce the risk of fractures from minor collisions, and recommend that women undergo at least one bone density test after menopause.
