Abstract
Osteoporosis, a systemic skeletal disease characterized by a low bone mass, is a major public health problem, especially in Indonesia. Due to, Indonesia as the world's fourth most populous nation, with estimated more than 239 million people in 2012 and 18.1% (43 million) aged over 50 years. The increasing of life expectancy from 69.3 years (2007) becomes 71.1 years (2012) changed the composition of elderly and led to the higher risk of osteoporosis. In addition, the risk factors of osteoporosis is also increased due to the changes in lifestyle, such as physical inactivity, increased smoking habits and decreased of nutritional intake of calcium and vitamins D. Indonesian health department stated that the prevalence of osteoporosis in Indonesia about 19.7% of the total population. Indonesian nutrition research and development center in 2005 reported that two of five Indonesian people have a risk of suffering osteoporosis. Approximately 40% of women 50-75 years of age will experience a fracture due to osteoporosis. One study showed that up to age 55 years, men have higher incidence of osteoporosis. This relates to the smoking habit in men (Indonesia as the second number of smokers in the world), and over 55 years the incidence is higher in women, related to menopause and decreased of Calcium intake. There are a number of methods for diagnosing osteoporosis that have been used in Indonesia, such as densitometer, ultrasound densitometer and laboratory examination for osteocalcin, CTx (C-telopeptide) and parathyroid hormon concentration. Osteoporosis is a burden, not only for patients but also for their families. Therefore prevention needs to be a concern early on. Efforts by the Indonesian government is by increasing public knowledge about osteoporosis risk factors and public awareness in preventing osteoporosis by a healthy diet to keep the composition of protein, calcium and vitamin D, weight-bearing exercises, exposure to sunlight, avoid smoking and alcohol. In order to prevent and predict the incidence of fractures, Indonesian Osteoporosis Association (Perosi) in collaboration with WHO, has made a Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) for Indonesia, which has been officially operate in April 2012.
