Abstract(s)
A osteoporose é considerada pela OMS como a epidemia silenciosa do Século e é actualmente um problema de saúde pública no mundo inteiro devido à sua alta prevalência e morbimortalidade, sendo a doença óssea mais comum nos adultos.
A etiologia da perda de massa óssea é complexa, multifactorial, inclui hereditariedade, etnia, idade avançada, sexo feminino, baixo peso corporal, deficiência hormonal, excessivo consumo de álcool, inactividade física, tabagismo, e factores nutricionais.
Não existe cura para a doença, mas o facto de a maioria dos factores de risco serem modificáveis torna a educação em saúde ideal para a osteoporose, para isso é fundamental uma informação correcta não só do doente mas dos familiares de modo a torná-los agentes multiplicadores do conhecimento.
