Timely preventive measures can significantly decrease the risk of fractures. Critical for the development of a biomechanically compe­ tent skeleton and maintaining bone mass are childhood, perimenopause and early postmenopause. Preventive measures are most im­ portant in the elderly who are at the highest risk of fractures. Prevention of osteoporosis and fractures includes maintained physical activity, dietary measures including adequate calcium and vitamin D intake and, at an older age, prevention of falls.
