Qualitative Study Exploring the Determinants Involved in the Management of Osteoporosis in Frail Elderly People by Doctors in Alsace Who Had Access to a Practical Guide on Osteoporosis

The aging population is associated with an increase in the number of elderly people as well as in chronic diseases, particularly osteoporosis and its fracture consequences, which lead to a decline in quality of life and life expectancy. Improved management of osteoporosis would help reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with this disease.
