  • Title: Assessment of risk factors for osteoporosis and fracture.
    Author: Pachucki-Hyde L.
    Journal: Nurs Clin North Am; 2001 Sep; 36(3):401-8, vii. PubMed ID: 11532655.
    Abstract:
    There are many factors that contribute to low bone mass and fracture. A careful health history is essential to identify both sets of risk factors. Identification of risk factors allows appropriate interventions to develop. Once a diagnosis has been established, laboratory and radiographic evaluation is needed to rule out secondary causes of osteoporosis. This article discusses risk factors for osteoporosis and fracture. It also discusses physical, laboratory, and radiographic evaluation.
