Real-world effectiveness of osteoporosis treatment in the oldest old

ConclusionsOsteoporosis medication in women>  80 years in clinical practice likely works, and the magnitude of effect is similar to what was estimated in younger women. The choice between osteoporosis treatment and calcium/vitamin D after fracture in women ≥ 80 years is not random but appears associated with the patient’s health stat us and presence of vertebral fractures, rather than the known risk profile of sustaining a fracture at a high age.
