The USPSTF<br \/>\n  recommends that routine screening begin at age 60 for women at increased risk<br \/>\n  for osteoporotic fractures (<em>see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahcpr.gov\/clinic\/3rduspstf\/osteoporosis\/osteorr.htm#consideration\">Clinical<br \/>\n  Considerations<\/a> for discussion of women at increased risk<\/em>). <\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahcpr.gov\/clinic\/uspstf\/standard.htm\">B<br \/>\n  recommendation<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rationale:<\/em> The USPSTF found good<br \/>\n  evidence that the risk for osteoporosis and fracture increases with age and<br \/>\n  other factors, that bone density measurements accurately predict the risk for<br \/>\n  fractures in the short-term, and that treating asymptomatic women with<br \/>\n  osteoporosis reduces their risk for fracture. The USPSTF concludes that the<br \/>\n  benefits of screening and treatment are of at least moderate magnitude for<br \/>\n  women at increased risk by virtue of age or presence of other risk factors.\n  <\/li>\n<li><strong>The USPSTF makes no recommendation for or against routine osteoporosis<br \/>\n  screening in postmenopausal women who are younger than 60 or in women aged<br \/>\n  60-64 who are not at increased risk for osteoporotic fractures.<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahcpr.gov\/clinic\/uspstf\/standard.htm\">C<br \/>\n  recommendation<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rationale:<\/em> The USPSTF found fair<br \/>\n  evidence that screening women at lower risk for osteoporosis or fracture can<br \/>\n  identify additional women who may be eligible for treatment for osteoporosis,<br \/>\n  but it would prevent a small number of fractures. The USPSTF concludes that<br \/>\n  the balance of benefits and harms of screening and treatment is too close to<br \/>\n  make a general recommendation for this age group. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"size2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahcpr.gov\/clinic\/uspstf\/uspsoste.htm#top\">Top<br \/>\nof Page<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\n<a name=\"related\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Supporting Documents<\/h4>\n<p class=\"size2\">Screening for Osteoporosis, September 2002<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Documents%20and%20Settings\/Matt\/Desktop\/CurriculumWomen&amp;Geri\/Osteoporosis\/Osteoporosis%20rec%20from%20USPSTF_files\/arrow_rt.gif\" border=\"0\" \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahcpr.gov\/clinic\/3rduspstf\/osteoporosis\/osteorr.htm\">Recommendations<br \/>\nand Rationale<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.annals.org\/issues\/v137n6\/pdf\/200209170-00014.pdf\">PDF file<\/a>,<br \/>\n71 KB)<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Documents%20and%20Settings\/Matt\/Desktop\/CurriculumWomen&amp;Geri\/Osteoporosis\/Osteoporosis%20rec%20from%20USPSTF_files\/arrow_rt.gif\" border=\"0\" \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahcpr.gov\/clinic\/3rduspstf\/osteoporosis\/osteosumm1.htm\">Summary<br \/>\nof the Evidence<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.annals.org\/issues\/v137n6\/pdf\/200209170-00015.pdf\">PDF file<\/a>,<br \/>\n223 KB)<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Documents%20and%20Settings\/Matt\/Desktop\/CurriculumWomen&amp;Geri\/Osteoporosis\/Osteoporosis%20rec%20from%20USPSTF_files\/arrow_rt.gif\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSystematic Evidence Review (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahcpr.gov\/clinic\/serfiles.htm#osteo\">File Download<\/a>, 166 KB)<br \/>\n<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Documents%20and%20Settings\/Matt\/Desktop\/CurriculumWomen&amp;Geri\/Osteoporosis\/Osteoporosis%20rec%20from%20USPSTF_files\/arrow_rt.gif\" border=\"0\" \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahcpr.gov\/clinic\/3rduspstf\/osteoporosis\/osteowh.htm\">What&#8217;s New<br \/>\nfrom the USPSTF<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahcpr.gov\/clinic\/3rduspstf\/osteoporosis\/osteowh.pdf\">PDF<br \/>\nfile<\/a>, 76 KB)<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Documents%20and%20Settings\/Matt\/Desktop\/CurriculumWomen&amp;Geri\/Osteoporosis\/Osteoporosis%20rec%20from%20USPSTF_files\/arrow_rt.gif\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahcpr.gov\/news\/press\/pr2002\/ostscrpr.htm\">Press<br \/>\nRelease<\/a><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Documents%20and%20Settings\/Matt\/Desktop\/CurriculumWomen&amp;Geri\/Osteoporosis\/Osteoporosis%20rec%20from%20USPSTF_files\/arrow_rt.gif\" border=\"0\" \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahcpr.gov\/clinic\/cpsix.htm\"><em>Guide to Clinical Preventive<br \/>\nServices, 2nd Edition<\/em><\/a><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Documents%20and%20Settings\/Matt\/Desktop\/CurriculumWomen&amp;Geri\/Osteoporosis\/Osteoporosis%20rec%20from%20USPSTF_files\/arrow_rt.gif\" border=\"0\" \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/hstat.nlm.nih.gov\/hq\/Hquest\/screen\/DirectAccess\/db\/local.gcps.cps\/IHR\/CH46\">Screening<br \/>\nfor Postmenopausal Osteoporosis, 1996<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"size2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahcpr.gov\/clinic\/uspstf\/uspsoste.htm#top\">Top<br \/>\nof Page<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"size2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahcpr.gov\/clinic\/uspstf\/uspstopics.htm\">Return to USPSTF Topic<br \/>\nIndex<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahcpr.gov\/clinic\/cps3dix.htm\">Return to<br \/>\nCategory Listing<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahcpr.gov\/clinic\/uspstfix.htm\">Return to USPSTF Home<br \/>\nPage<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Osteoporosis &#8211; Screening Release Date: September 2002 Summary of Recommendations \/ Supporting Documents Summary of Recommendations The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that women aged 65 and older be screened routinely for osteoporosis.
