steoporosis is each year in France, more than 50 000 osteoporosis fractures hip. One in four women died within one year and 60% will never return to completely autonomous.Today every woman aged over 50 has a three chance of making a osteoporosis fracture of this type, during the 35 years he left to live.
Present at the show of medicine, Médec, Dr. Elisabeth Confavreux of the Edouard Herriot hospital in Lyon says that the landscape is changing and that new hopes are emerging.
"There is a hope of detecting the osteoporosis risk of fracture. Everyone is concerned, nobody has to escape. It can indeed detect the osteoporosis risk of fracture, this is fundamental, as well as taking measures to prevent fractures which will jeopardize the quality of life of women with osteoporosis, "said she.
But now osteoporosis screening is still not supported. Elisabeth Confavreux was still some hope. "For the moment it is difficult in financial terms, not in terms of the examination which is extremely quick and painless.
The osteodensitometrie will soon be taken care of and therefore accessible to all. "This examination can determine and predict precisely the risk of osteoporosis fracture at more or less long term.
In this case, it is possible to treat women. For Elisabeth Confavreux treatment s'envisage on two points.
"Either it is a preventive measure, ie it prevents the loss of bone and helps keep her bone. This is fundamental. Either you have a low bone mineral density and in this case it is absolutely necessary to avoid fractures in the long term.
"And as recalled Dr. Confavreux," today we have weekly treatments easy to take, not too binding and effective. "
