Abstract		Osteoporosis is a silent disease until it is complicated by fragility fractures. A hip or vertebral fracture may have an impact on the patient's mobility, independence, quality of life and mortality. Family physicians can have an important role in the prevention of falls. Treatment must include advice on regular physical activity and nutrition, as well as the risks associated with smoking and excessive alcohol intake.
Summary		Osteoporoza je do zloma tiha bolezen, ki zelo vpliva na premičnost, neodvisnost, kvaliteto življenja in umrljivost bolnikov, ki utrpijo zlom kolka ali vretenca. Družinski zdravnik ima lahko pomembno vlogo pri preprečevanju padcev. Zdravljenje mora vedno vključevati tudi navodila o zdravi prehrani, primerni telesni aktivnosti in škodljivih učinkih kajenja in prekomernega pitja alkoholnih pijač.
