Abstract
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by an imbalanced bone turnover leading to low bone mass and bone microarchitecture disruption that increase the risk of fractures. It is the most common metabolic bone disorder seen in the World due to prolongation of life. In this review, the basic aspects for the evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of osteoporosis is discussed in the view of the literature.Keywords
