Introduction: Osteoporosis poses a significant public health issue, causing significant morbidity and mortality. It leads to an increased fracture risk through a reduction in the bone mineral density (BMD), disruption of bone microarchitecture, and alteration of the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone. Treatment aims are to prevent fractures and maintain the quality of life of the aging adult. The advent of the WHO assessment tool ‘Fractur...
