Osteoporosis, a disease which leads to bone fragility and an increased risk of fractures, is very common among postmenopausal women, affecting around one in three over the age of 50 worldwide. However, as osteoporosis and related fragility fractures are rare in younger women, there is far less research, and consequently a lack of consensus and guidance on its diagnosis and management in this population group.
A newly published narrative review by a working group of the ECTS and IOF provides an updated review of literature published after 2017 on premenopausal osteoporosis.
