摘要：

Osteoporosis is rapidly becoming a buzz word in rheumatology and there is heightened interest in the subject from patients, potential patients, and rheumatologists alike. The population at greatest risk (mainly women) is now better defined, and sophisticated means of measurement of bone density are now available, if only at a limited number of centres. Urinary hydroxyproline may be a useful marker for fast bone losers, and partial treatment (albeit with significant problems) is now available. This is a fast growing subject of considerable interest to rheumatology.
