Abstract

BackgroundSeveral guidelines recommend a bone and fall-related osteoporosis risk assessment in all patients with fracture and age>50years. In practice, however, there is no consensus whether screening>85years is useful.AimTo evaluate the subsequent fracture risk in all patient>85 years, comparing the two populations of Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) attenders and non-attenders.MethodsAll patients>85years that presented at the FLS with a non-vertebral fracture were included in the study during a 5-year period (September 2004 and December 2009). Excluded were pathologic fractures, death85years seems to be limited. In practice a large proportion of these patients are not screened.
