Consensus of 12 strategies for managing osteoporosis in men in the Asia–Pacific region

Actions	Objectives
1. Screen men aged 50 and above	Early detection of osteoporosis risk
2. Use NHANES III database for DXA scan	More sensitive bone density assessment for men
3. Evaluate risk factors for diagnosis	Comprehensive risk assessment
4. Monitor bone turnover	Track bone metabolism and adjust treatment
5. Ensure vitamin D and calcium intake	Provide essential nutrients for bone health
6. Recommend lifestyle changes	Increase activity, reduce fall and fracture risk
7. Use antiresorptive drugs (e.g., denosumab)	Reduce fracture incidence
8. Consider anabolic agents for high-risk cases	Improve bone strength and density
9. Treat hypogonadism with testosterone	Support bone and muscle health in men
10. Implement fracture liaison services (FLS)	Prevent secondary fractures and improve care coordination
11. Reinforce adherence and follow-up	Ensure long-term treatment success
12. Promote lifelong bone health	Emphasize prevention and care throughout the lifespan
