Nurse-Led Targeted Osteoporosis Screening Enhances Bone Health in At-Risk Older Men: Insights from a Veterans Affairs Cluster Randomized Trial

Highlight

A novel nurse-led centralized program targeting older men at risk for osteoporosis significantly increased screening rates and treatment adherence compared to usual care. Over two years, the intervention group demonstrated higher average femoral neck bone density, underscoring potential benefits in fracture prevention. The study supports initiation of osteoporosis screening in men aged 65 and older with at least one risk factor, paralleling practices in women.
