Resumen:
A Summary In Mexico, osteoporosis is a public health problem. In this
document, the Mexican Association for Bone and Mineral Metabolism
defines its position on calcium, vitamin D supplement use, and physical
activity as an effective, safe, and cost-effective initiatives to
prevent low bone mass.
Introduction In Mexico, osteoporosis is a public health problem that is
expected to increase in the decades ahead. Generally, modifiable risk
factors for bone health are related with lifestyles, especially
nutrition and physical activity.
Methods In this position paper, the Mexican Association for Bone and
Mineral Metabolism (AMMOM, by its acronym in Spanish), which is a
multidisciplinary group of researchers, dietitians, epidemiologists,
nurses, and physicians who study bone and related tissues and
communicate the best strategies for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention
of bone problems, aims to analyze the association between nutrition and
bone health, risk behaviors for low bone mass, and the economic impact
that prevention of low bone mass represents for the health care system.
Results Addressing therapeutic management with pharmacological and
non-pharmacological approaches, we emphasize the important role the
patient plays in the doctor-patient relationship, both in the consulting
room and in daily life. Furthermore, the AMMOM defines its position on
calcium and vitamin D supplement use as an effective, safe, and
cost-effective initiative to prevent low bone mass.
Conclusions In summary, most research and clinical practice related to
osteoporosis have focused on diagnosis and treatment, but general
measures for primary prevention based on addressing modifiable risk
factors as a public health priority to delay the onset of loss of bone
mass have not been considered by Mexican authorities. Consequently, the
AMMOM task force also seeks to provide information on concrete actions
to prevent low bone mass.
