Photo by Amanda Shell, UH Med Now.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p>The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening for osteoporosis to prevent fractures in women ages 65 and older, says task force member Chien-Wen Tseng, a professor of <a href=\"https:\/\/jabsom.hawaii.edu\/departments\/fmch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">family medicine and community health<\/a> at the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) at the University of Hawai\u02bbi at M\u0101noa.<\/p><p>The Task Force also recommends screening for osteoporosis to prevent fractures in women younger than age 65 years who have been through menopause and are at increased risk for osteoporosis. Task force recommendations often influence health care practices across the country.<\/p><p>Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak and can break or fracture more easily. These fractures, also called osteoporotic or fragility fractures, can result from a minor fall or injury that typically would not cause a break in normal, healthy bones. These fractures can lead to serious disability, loss of independence, decreased quality of life, and, in some cases, even death.<\/p><p><big>\u201cWithout screening, most women won\u2019t know that they have osteoporosis until they have a fracture. Screening and treatment can help prevent these fractures,\u201d says Task Force member Chien-Wen Tseng, M.D., M.P.H., M.S.E.E. \u201cBased on the evidence, we recommend screening for women over the age of 65 and younger women who have been through menopause and are at increased risk for osteoporosis.\u201d<\/big><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/secure-hwcdn.libsyn.com\/p\/6\/c\/d\/6cd0109a4363e4bf\/USPSTF_Recommendation_Statement__Screening_for_Osteoporosis_to_Prevent_Fractures.mp3?c_id=21771483&amp;cs_id=21771483&amp;expiration=1530139144&amp;hwt=d43b922760e7f5453d99d12f6a95673f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><big>Listen as Dr. Chien-Wen Tseng is interviewed by the Editor-in-Chief of the <em>Journal of American Medical Association<\/em><\/big><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p><p>While the Task Force recommends the screening for women over 65 (a \u201cB\u201d recommendation, meaning there is high certainty that the net benefit is moderate or there is moderate certainty that the net benefit is moderate to substantial), it found that there is not enough evidence to determine if <em>men<\/em> should be screened for osteoporosis to prevent fractures. (This is an \u201cI\u201d statement \u2014 insufficient evidence \u2014 and not a recommendation for or against the practice).<\/p><p>\u201cWhile both men and women can develop osteoporosis, there\u2019s less evidence to know whether screening and current treatments prevent fractures in men without a history of fractures. More studies are needed that look at how well treatments work in men who have not had a fracture,\u201d says Task Force vice chair Alex H. Krist, M.D., M.P.H.<\/p><p>These final recommendations apply to older adults who do not have a history of prior fragility fractures or health conditions that could lead to weakened bones.<\/p><p>This recommendation statement has been published online in the <em>Journal of the American Medical Association<\/em>, as well as on the Task Force Web site at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org<\/a>.<\/p><p>The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is an independent, volunteer panel of national experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine that works to improve the health of all Americans by making evidence-based recommendations about clinical preventive services such as screenings, counseling services, and preventive medications.<\/p><p><strong>About Dr. Tseng<\/strong><br \/>Dr. Tseng is the Hawai\u02bbi Medical Service Association endowed chair in health services and quality research, a professor, and the associate research director in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Hawai\u02bbi John A.
