THE latest educational module from the Veterans' Medicines Advice and Therapeutic Education Services (Veterans' MATES) project covers osteoporosis.
The topic includes a Therapeutic Brief on stopping osteoporotic fractures, with osteoporosis and osteopenia occurring in more than two thirds of Australians aged 50 years and older.
There's also information on the latest research, including the "very modest" benefits of calcium supplements with or without vitamin D for fracture prevention for non-institutionalised people.
