Technical Abstract: Osteoporosis is not an inevitable consequence of aging. To date much effort has been directed at identifying those at risk for fracture and getting them on appropriate nutrition and treatment. Relatively little effort has been made to keep patients on these preventative measures. This supplement addresses known and potential strategies to encourage individuals to remain on therapy.
