Abstract

Bone Density Humans Musculoskeletal Diseases Osteoarthritis Osteoporosis - diagnosis Osteoporosis - therapy Osteoporotic Fractures - diagnosis Osteoporotic Fractures - etiology Osteoporotic Fractures - prevention & control Risk Assessment
This position paper of the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) and the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases (ESCEO) addresses the rationale for separate diagnostic and intervention thresholds in osteoporosis. We conclude that the current BMD-based diagnostic criteria for osteoporosis be retained whilst clarity is brought to bear on the distinction between diagnostic and intervention thresholds.
