See/download the final announcement! Meet the Professor Maria Luisa Bianchi Managing osteoporosis in children Topics to be covered A short introduction will be dedicated to the definition of osteoporosis in children. In the last years, low bone density and fragility fractures are increasingly seen in young people. The primitive forms are relatively rare, but the secondary forms - particularly in long-term corticosteroid therapy - are a relevant problem. Regarding primary osteoporosis only the idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis (IJO) will be treated. I will try to give an answer to the main questions about the treatment of osteoporosis in children. In particular, the following questions will be addressed: Who is to be treated ? When to start a specific treatment ? Which treatment? For how long ? How to monitor response? Educational goals
Target audience Medical doctors and nurses potentially involved in the management of osteoporosis. Teaching methods Some transparencies will be used to present the key
points.
