Osteoporosis –detection and treatment Dr Gill Coombes November 2007
Osteoporosis : Definition (NIH, 2001) A skeletal disorder characterised by compromised bone strength predisposing a person to an increased risk of fracture. Bone strength primarily reflects integration of bone density and bone quality.

Osteoporosis – Some facts and figures • 1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men aged 50 will suffer a fragility fracture in their remaining lifetime • There are 20 million people aged 50 years and over in the UK. By 2020 this will have increased to 25 million. • The lifetime risk of fracture in women at age 50 is greater than the risk of breast cancer or cardiovascular disease
Annual Incidence of Osteoporotic fractures in England and Wales 180,000 Symptomatic osteoporotic fractures 70,000 Hip fractures 25,000 Vertebral fractures 41,000 Wrist fractures Estimated total cost of treating osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women £1.5 to 1.8 billion in 2000 £ 2.1 billion in 2010

Management of Osteoporosis Identifying Risk Factors for Osteoporosis • Previous fragility fracture • Corticosteroid use > 3 months • Family history, especially maternal hip fracture • Medical conditions associated with osteoporosis e.g. RA, coeliac disease, hyperparathyroidism • Premature menopause < 45 years old • Excess alcohol consumption • Low BMI (<19) • Smoking
Bone density referral guidelines • REASON FOR REFERRAL: • Corticosteroid therapy – any dose for more than three months. However, patients of any age who have had a minimal trauma fracture or patients >65 treat without a scan. • Minimal trauma fracture – eg wrist, vertebra, hip, pelvis. If known vertebral fracture, please state which vertebra. • Early menopause – before 45 years, or prolonged amenorrhoea > 1 year – scan when patient reaches 50 years of age. • Other diseases or treatments associated with osteoporosis • Please specify ……………………………….. • Family History of osteoporosis in first degree relative, particularly maternal hip fracture. • Significant radiological osteopenia • Patients with proven osteoporosis who discontinue HRT and who are not on other OP treatment. Scan 12 months after stopping
Prostate cancer Gonadorelin analogues Breast cancer Chemotherapy induced ‘menopause’ Tamoxifen in pre-menopausal women Aromatase inhibitors Osteoporosis and cancer treatments
Osteoporosis and aromatase inhibitors • All aromatase inhibitors cause bone loss (anastrazole, letrozole and exemestane) and are associated with increased fracture risk • Bone loss is most rapid in the first 6-12 months (approx 3%) after changing from tamoxifen • Bone loss then slows eg 4-5% overall at 2 years • Consider DXA scan at time of switching from tamoxifen to aromatase inhibitor especially if other risk factors present
