Author's abstract
Not only for sociodemographic reasons did Riggs and Melton write in their reader published in 1988: "Osteoporosis is a disease whose time has come". The exact incidence of osteoporosis in Germany is still unknown because of a lack of epidemiological studies and of discrepancies in its definition. According to estimates, 6 to 8 million people are affected by osteoporosis in Germany. This part of population (now 6 to 10%) will increase for sociodemographic reasons if prevention does not become more efficient. In a preliminary study to EVOS we developed a questionnaire about risk-factors for osteoporosis (OSIRIS). Also BMD was measured in 132 patients by "Lunar DPX". Physical activity was the best predictor of BMD in our study. Verf.-Referat
