Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO) is one of the most challenging health issue in the aged population. Up to fifty percent of chronic glucocorticoid-treated patients will experience at least one osteoporosis related fracture. Any attempt to prevent GIO will significantly decrease patients� morbidity and mortality. Novel drugs have been recently developed for preventing and/or treating GIO. New methods of detection, prevention and treatment of GIO will be discussed in this talk.
