Abstract
MEDINA-ORJUELA, Adriana et al. Second Colombian Consensus on the Management of Post-menopausal Osteoporosis: 2017 Update. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.3, pp.184-210. ISSN 0121-8123. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcreu.2018.02.006.
The Colombian Osteoporosis and Mineral Metabolism Association met in early 2017 to update the Colombian Consensus on Osteoporosis. This was first issued in 2005, and is seen as a necessary step in view of the underdiagnosed status of this disease, and the expected impact of population ageing. A technical team was formed with specialists with long experience across multiple disciplines, who were assigned to four working groups: definitions and epidemiology, diagnosis, pharmacological treatment, and non-pharmacological treatment. After a scientific literature review and a series of meetings, the definitions and recommendations are summarised in this article.
