Multidisciplinary approach to management of osteoporosis with osteoporosis liaison service (OLS)

Abstract:
The prevalence of osteoporosis has increased in super-aging societies. To prevent subsequent fractures from occurring after initial osteoporotic fracture, coordinator-based systems called fracture liaison service (FLS) have been implemented worldwide. In Japan, the osteoporosis liaison service (OLS) including FLS was launched in 2011 in order to reduce the incidence of both primary and secondary fractures in osteoporosis patients. Multidisciplinary management by an OLS coordinator aims to support patient care, monitor medicine adherence, and improve quality of life of the elderly. A framework such as OLS-7 has been proposed to provide comprehensive support regardless of the expertise of each medical staff.

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...
Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor during the formation of osteoblast-related proteins, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin B12 plays a role...
