Post Menopausal Osteoporosis

This study aims to evaluate the adherence of patients to combined treatment with bisphosphonates and calcium and vitamin D supplements, which is one of the usual treatments for postmenopausal osteoporosis. The study will consist of a single visit that will coincide with one of the patient's usual follow-up visits according to standard clinical practice. During this visit, information will be collected from the patient's medical history and an interview will be conducted using 3 questionnaires to assess how and how often the patient takes the treatment, possible forgetfulness, and whether or not the patient is satisfied with their current treatment.

Post-menopausal osteoporosis and the resulting fractures are an important cause of disability and loss of independence. They also increase the risk of morbidity and mortality. Given potential side effects, hormone replacement therapy is no longer recommended for menopausal women with risk of becoming osteoporotic. The very significant decrease in the use of these treatments is suspected of contributing to a resurgence in the incidence of osteoporotic fractures, particularly in women before the age of 70. There is a need for prevention of osteoporosis.
