The burden of osteoporosis in four Latin American countries: Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina.

CONCLUSIONS: Over the next five years, approximately 4,485,352 fractures are anticipated to occur in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina. To control and prevent these fractures, stakeholders must work together to close the care gap. Efforts to identify individuals at high fracture risk, initiate treatment, and improve long-term treatment persistence will be essential in minimizing the financial and patient burden of osteoporosis in Latin America.
