Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Gerontology
  • Bone Metabolism

Background:

  • Osteoporosis prevalence and cost present a significant public health challenge.
  • Aging populations in Asia, including Korea, face increasing rates of osteoporotic fractures.
  • Hip fracture incidence in Korea has quadrupled in the last decade.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the growing problem of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures in Korea and Asia.
  • To emphasize preventive strategies and pharmacologic therapies for osteoporosis management.
  • To discuss the development of new guidelines and reimbursement criteria for osteoporosis treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current trends in osteoporosis prevalence and fracture incidence.
  • Analysis of preventive measures including nutrition, exercise, and smoking cessation.
  • Evaluation of pharmacologic therapy options and their accessibility.

Main Results:

  • Osteoporotic fractures are a major concern due to population aging.
  • Prevention is key, involving adequate calcium, vitamin D, protein intake, exercise, and smoking cessation.
  • Pharmacologic therapies are available but face reimbursement limitations.

Conclusions:

  • There is an urgent need to encourage preventive measures and pharmacologic treatments for osteoporosis.
  • New guidelines and revised reimbursement criteria are being established for osteoporosis management.
  • A new paradigm for osteoporosis treatment is expected for clinical application soon.
