Zusammenfassung

Osteoporotische Knochenbrüche sind eine häufige Ursache von Einbußen an Selbstständigkeit und Lebensqualität im Alter. Der Erhalt von Muskulatur und Koordination, die tägliche Zufuhr von 1 000 mg Calcium, eine ausreichende Versorgung mit Vitamin D und ein umsichtiger Umgang mit sturz- bzw. osteoporosefördernden Medikamenten sind die wichtigsten Basismaßnahmen zur Frakturvermeidung. Ab einem 10-Jahres-Frakturrisiko von 30% für proximale Femurfrakturen und Wirbelkörperfrakturen empfiehlt die Leitlinie des Dachverbands Osteologie eine Langzeittherapie mit spezifischen Osteoporosemedikamenten.

Abstract

Osteoporotic fractures are a frequent cause of disability and a loss of quality of life in old age. Maintenance of muscle function and balance, a daily calcium intake of 1,000 mg, sufficient vitamin D, and a prudent use of fall- and osteoporosis-associated drugs are key components of fracture prevention. The German guideline recommends to initiate a specific long-term osteoporosis medication in individuals with a 30% 10-year risk for hip fractures and vertebral fractures.
