A Systematic Review of Osteoporosis Medication Adherence and Osteoporosis-Related Fracture Costs in Men

One-third to two-thirds of men are not adherent to bisphosphonates. Non-adherence is associated with increased fracture risk. Estimates of direct and indirect osteoporosis-related fracture costs are also substantial in men, and may even be more costly than in women. More robust data would better inform disease management initiatives that could improve adherence to medication and outcomes in men with osteoporosis. </AbstractSection> Copyright Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014
