Study of the Adequacy Between Calcium Supplementation and Dietary Intake in Treatment-naive Patients After a Fracture

Centre Hospitalier de Colmar100 enrolled

Overview

Osteoporosis is a disease that causes many fractures. However, treatments exist such as anti-osteoporotic treatments, vitamin D supplementation and an adaptation of calcium intake. 80% of patients with an indication for anti-osteoporotic treatment are never treated with these anti-osteoporotic treatments after a first fracture. On the other hand, more than 84% of them are supplemented with calcium and vitamin D. It often appears in the practice of rheumatologists that some patients are supplemented while their dietary intake is sufficient, and vice versa. The objective of the study is therefore to take stock of the (in)adequacy between the dietary intake of patients and the supplementation prescribed to them following an osteoporotic-like fracture.
