Osteoporosis is increasingly recognized as a major public health problem; its estimated annual cost to the health care system in the United States is 7 to 10 billion dollars. Furthermore, because the population is aging, the scope of the problem is likely to increase exponentially, particularly in developing countries. Recognizing these trends, a World Health Organization Study Group was convened in Rome from 22 June to 25 June, 1992, to critically evaluate the methods available for assessing fracture risk and their suitability for use in screening for osteoporosis. This book summarizes the group's findings and recommendations.
