Sažetak
Osteoporosis has recently "walked in” like an epidemic. It is a disorder that, due to industrialization and the application of new technologies, is today present in younger people lives. Modern devices used in everyday life have replaced the physical activity of man, and along with the sedentary lifestyle, had an impact on an increasing number of people affected by this disease. The effects of osteoporosis are significant because they represent a medical and social problem, and the cost of treating fractures requires significant economic expenditures [1, 2]. Falls and injuries caused by them (e.g. fractures) are a growing problem for people in the third age group. Injuries and fractures cause pain plus functional disability, which consequently diminish the quality of life. The consequences increase costs of health care and cause mortality.
