AnnotationAs the population ages, preventive gerontology has been advocated to promote good personal health practices for a healthier longevity. While detection and management of high blood pressure, elevated serum glycemic and cholesterol levels have been routine in the care of older persons, approaches to osteoporosis identification and management are more complex and less widely practised. This article reviews aspects of osteoporosis detection and intervention in this patient population, with recommendations for meeting the needs of "bone health" in an ageing society. (KJ/RH).
