Abstract

Various factors, including unbalanced diet and hormonal disturbances have been attributed to the presence of osteoporosis in individuals of elite society. A study of clinical profile of osteoporosis in elite population in Kashmiri population was carried out at the Bone and Joint Hospital Barzullah Srinagar. 100 patients were selected for the study on the basis of DEXA bone density findings.
