Osteoporosis is a global problem that can degrade the quality of life and productivity of sufferers. According to data from the site of the Republic of Indonesia Ministry of Health, shows that life expectancy in Indonesia increased from 64.71 years (1995-2000) to 67.68 years (2000-2005). Elderly population reached 18.4 million in 2005 with an estimated 19.7 percent of the population suffering from osteoporosis.
There is no medicine that can cure osteoporosis. The only way is to prevent the occurrence of decreased bone mass and maintain bone do not already broken (fracture).
As stated by Prof.DR.Dr.Errol U. Hutagalung, FICS, SpB, SpOT (K). "Osteoporosis should be handled carefully from the beginning, ie at the stage of diagnosis, through treatment to be done for at least 1 year, until the monitoring of treatment outcomes," he said.
This comprehensive concept of handlers who not only helped the doctors, but also patients. Because if you have osteoporosis, the patient will experience a decline in quality of life and productivity drastically.
How to determine the condition of the bone? Can actually be done through two ways, namely by measuring Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and bone biochemical markers. BMD will bone density levels through special X-rays, CT scans, or ultrasound. While the biochemical markers of bone will provide information about the potential imbalance between bone formation and resorption. Both are different types of examination, but can complement each other to obtain accurate information on bone status.
After the diagnostic test, the patient will be given the treatment of osteoporosis is the standard therapy and the patient monitored for response to therapy. "Patients who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis treatment to be provided is the standard therapy. Patients will also be monitored for response to therapy,"

Although the disease is not classified as a disease that can be eliminated from the body of the sufferer, but, if done consistently, bone fragility can be slowed its speed.
