Speakers: Dr. Paul D. Miller, MD, and Dr. Jennifer Kelly, DO
Webinar Details: Bone is a living organ that is continuously being remodeled. When bone breakdown exceeds bone formation, osteoporosis develops, leaving bones brittle and more likely to fracture—even under minor stress. While most common in post-menopausal women, osteoporosis is underdiagnosed in men and women alike. With age being a major risk factor, it is estimated that 1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men aged 50 and older in the U.S. will suffer from an osteoporosis-related fracture. Bone turnover markers are used by clinicians to guide treatment decisions in the management of osteoporosis—monitoring response to therapy, identifying non-compliance, and predicting rates of bone loss and fracture risk. Drs. Miller and Kelly will discuss the benefits of using bone turnover markers in managing osteoporosis and disorders of low bone density. P.A.C.E. credit available. Click here to register now.
