Abstract
Osteoporosis is widely distributed in our communities due to a lot of causes like aging of the population, lack of physical activities, limited outside life and avoidance of sun exposure.
Osteoporosis causes a lot of clinical disorders like backache, bone pain, and generalized fatiguability. In addition to that we face a lot of osteoporotic fractures with catastrophic sequalae on personal and community levels that cause increased morbidity and mortality rate which cost billions of dollars each year.
Prevention of this disorder is highly recommended to improve people’s health and to decrease financial burden upon the society. Modifiable factors can be worked on to achieve the goal.
One of the best ways to prevent osteoporosis is optimization of people’s dietary habits by inclusion of food rich in vitamin D and calcium which need special effort by medical personnel. So that, the primary care for osteoporosis needs to include good food habits.
The fracture risk assessment algorithm is a tool used by medical professionals to predict people at risk of fracture due to osteoporosis and to take steps to prevent that. The steps include antiresorptive drugs in addition to food supplements.
Treatment of osteoporosis by antiresorptive drugs like bisphosphonates and monoclonal antibody need special consideration regarding patients' general conditions and his serum calcium and vitamin D level.
This paper reviews the recent data regarding vitamin D and calcium supplements that utilized to prevent and treat osteoporosis.
