"Maintaining Strong Bones Across All Ages"

Geriatric healthcare providers should follow the "Geriatric 5Ms" (mobility, medications, mind, multicomplexity, and matters most) to manage patients with osteoporosis. This includes fall risk assessment, medication management, and considering the patient's medical complexity and preferences. Shared decision-making can help patients understand the risks and benefits of treatment. Exercise programs can also help reduce fear of falling and social isolation. Clinicians should address vision problems, psychotropic drugs, and heart rate and rhythm abnormalities, and suggest modifications to the home environment to prevent falls.
