Approxiately 40-50% of postmenopausal woman experience an osteoporotic fracture by the end of their lives. The lifetime rist of hip fracture is 19%, 15% for vertebral fracure and 16% fo distal forearm fracture. Estimates suggest that at least 12-20% of hip fractures patients die within one year of injury. In both, developed and developing countries, the segment of the population aged 60 years and older is increasing. Worldwide demographic shifts in the eldetly population are relatively recent phenomen. The incidence and prevalence of osteoporosis fractures are increasing.
