摘要
The level of recognition and treatment of osteoporosis is not well characterized in primary care. In data from a large sample of postmenopausal women attending 927 primary care physicians, 29% of women reported one or more fractures after menopause. The great majority (72%) were not on any osteoporosis-specific therapy.
