Systematic review identifies gaps in osteoporosis care and highlights interventions in primary care settings.

This review synthesizes evidence on managing osteoporosis and fragility fractures in primary care.
Conducted a systematic review using Ovid Medline, Embase, Scopus, and PsycINFO.
Included studies from 2005 to 2025 examining osteoporosis and fragility fracture care in adults ≥ 50 years.
Eighty studies were reviewed, covering various designs such as surveys, cohort studies, and randomized controlled trials.
Clinician knowledge on guidelines and fracture risk was found to be moderate with significant gaps.
Under-identification and undertreatment of osteoporosis were prevalent, with minimal screening and testing.
Interventions like electronic decision-support improved bone mineral density testing and prescribing rates, despite existing barriers.

Jude et al. (2026) studied this question.
