Resumen
La osteoporosis se define como una entidad esquelética caracterizada por baja masa ósea y deterioro de la microarquitectura ósea, lo cual lleva a una mayor fragilidad ósea y riesgo de fractura. Todas las fracturas osteoporóticas aumentan la morbilidad de los pacientes; sin embargo, las fracturas de cadera y vertebrales también están asociadas con una mayor mortalidad. Estas fracturas por fragilidad también son una carga considerable para el sistema de salud y tienen un gran impacto económico. Por lo tanto, el conocimiento de la epidemiología de la enfermedad es fundamental para tratar de desarrollar estrategias que estén orientadas a disminuir esta carga.

Summary
Osteoporosis is defined as a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. All osteoporotic fractures increase patient morbidity; however, fractures of the hip and vertebrae are also associated with important mortality. These fragility fractures have a considerable burden to health care system and a huge economic impact. Understanding the epidemiology of this disease is therefore necessary in trying to develop strategies to help reduce this load.
Key words:
