TL;DR
A need for a closer examination of fracture treatment in the context of preventive care, and early detection of osteoporosis is suggested.
Abstract
Bone health is often examined in the context of already established bone disease. This study suggests a need for a closer examination of fracture treatment in the context of preventive care, and early detection of osteoporosis.

Although hip fracture prediction with BMD alone is at least as good as blood pressure readings to predict stroke, the predictive value of BMD can be enhanced by use of other factors, such as biochemical indices of bone resorption and clinical risk factors.

It was estimated that at least 90% of all hip and spine fractures among elderly white women should be attributed to osteoporosis, and regardless of fracture type, attribution probabilities were less for men than women and generally less for non‐whites than whites.

Mortality and morbidity data from these same societies are used to show that post‐menopausal women are also not equally at risk for heart disease, breast cancer, or osteoporosis, and it is suggested that it is important to think in terms of “local biologies”, which reflect the very different social and physical conditions of women's lives from one society to another.

The results suggest that women are receiving inadequate information about osteoporosis, possess limited knowledge about the disease, and are not taking adequate measures to prevent or treat osteoporeosis as they age.

Findings from a qualitative study of the health concerns and perceptions of health risks and osteoporosis of women in the age group 40-55 years suggest that most women in this study evidenced a surprising degree of disinterest in this health issue.
