Osteoporosis is a common disease, often linked to glucocorticosteroid use, particularly in allergy practice. Early identification and intervention are key for managing and preventing this bone disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Rheumatology
  • Allergy and Immunology

Background:

  • Osteoporosis is a prevalent condition with substantial morbidity and mortality.
  • Increased lifespan and widespread glucocorticosteroid use contribute to rising osteoporosis incidence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize osteoporosis pathogenesis, risk identification, and management strategies.
  • To provide guidance for allergy practitioners on osteoporosis evaluation and prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review utilizing MEDLINE database.
  • Critical appraisal of relevant articles and synthesis of conclusions.

Main Results:

  • Osteoporosis management is improving with better awareness, understanding of pathogenesis, bone density assessment techniques, and specific medications.
