What is the expected duration of Osteoporosis?
By: Editorial Team, Harvard
Although osteoporosis is a long-term (chronic) condition, proper treatment can lead to significant improvements in bone mass and can decrease the likelihood that a fracture will occur. Even though bone mass usually does not return to normal, the risk of fracture may decrease dramatically, often by 50% or more, after several years of treatment.
