Original Abstract of the Article

Major Research Findings

Multiple studies have shown that antiresorptive agents, such as hormone replacement therapy and bisphosphonates, are effective for preventing and treating postmenopausal osteoporosis. 24 Bisphosphonates are potent inhibitors of bone resorption and are currently the mainstay of treatment for postmenopausal osteoporosis. 33 Bisphosphonates are widely reported to be generally safe and effective; however, concerns have been raised about potential excessive suppression of bone turnover during long-term use, which can impair some of the biomechanical properties of bone. 48 In the treatment of osteoporosis, it is important to choose the right treatment for each individual's situation. 65

Treatment Summary

Treatment for osteoporosis includes hormone replacement therapy, bisphosphonates, teriparatide, denosumab, raloxifene, and other medications. 24 In addition, calcium and vitamin D intake and exercise therapy are also effective. 103

Benefits and Risks

Benefit Summary

Treatment for osteoporosis can reduce the risk of fractures. 24 Bisphosphonates have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of fracture. 68 Teriparatide increases bone density and reduces fracture risk. 57

Risk Summary

Long-term use of bisphosphonates can lead to excessive suppression of bone turnover, which can impair bone quality. 48 There is also a risk of side effects, such as osteonecrosis of the jaw. 83

Comparison Between Studies

Commonalities of Studies

Many studies have shown that bisphosphonates are effective as medications for treating osteoporosis. 24

Differences Between Studies

There are different opinions on the effect of long-term bisphosphonate use on bone quality. 48

Consistency and Contradictions in Results

Many studies have shown consistent results regarding the effectiveness of osteoporosis treatments. 24 However, there are different opinions on the effects of long-term bisphosphonate use on bone quality. 48

Precautions for Applying the Results to Real Life

It is important to choose the right treatment for each individual's situation when treating osteoporosis. 65 When using medications such as bisphosphonates, it is important to follow the doctor's instructions and have your bone density checked regularly. 30

Current Limits of Research

Further research is needed on the long-term effects of osteoporosis treatments. 38

Future Research Directions

Further research is needed on the long-term effects of osteoporosis treatments, especially the impact on bone quality. 48

Conclusion

Osteoporosis is a condition that increases the risk of fractures. 50 Hormone replacement therapy and bisphosphonates are effective in preventing and treating osteoporosis. 24 However, these medications carry a risk of side effects. 83 Treatment for osteoporosis should be chosen in consultation with a doctor, considering the individual's situation. 65
