This paper provide evidence that can stay at the basis of a further investigation on the role of calcium and vitamin D3 supplements in the prevention and reduction of osteoporosis risk.METHODS: The study was carried out in two stages: a literature review and a descriptive study, carried out by administering a questionnaire to 60 participants aged between 20 and 60 yea

Abstract:

Summary. We analyzed the data about the preferences of medication and incidence of fractures between osteoporosis patients from 2012 to 2016. Our results suggested that the number of patients treated with intravenous and subcutaneous injections increased and the incidence of fracture was lower in intravenous and subcutaneous injections than oral medications. Objective. This study focused on the trends in antiosteoporosis drug preferences and compared the incidence of fractures between patients treated orally and those who were exposed to an awareness campaign and assigned to intravenous/subcut
