Official Title: Multifaceted Intervention Using Telehealth to Reduce the Risk of Falls and Fractures in Older Men (MisterFit): A Pilot Study
Brief Summary:
Men sustain over one-third of osteoporosis-related fractures worldwide.The burden of osteoporotic fractures in older men is substantial, and men suffer significantly worse fracture-related outcomes than women.Following a fracture, men sustain greater rates of subsequent fractures, loss of autonomy, and mortality than women and the imminent risk of re-fracture is several times higher in men than in women.Functional mobility, known to predict falls and fractures, is also notably worse in men following a fracture.In…
