Abstract
The vertebrae are the commonest site of osteoporotic fracture osteoporosis, are associated with the highest mortality, and a huge illness burden. Some have questioned the value of screening for spine fractures, but studies from Europe, Latin-America, the USA and China show they are common and their prevalence increases with age. Epidemiologic data are limited for the Republic of Ireland
