PARIENTE RODRIGO, E.; OLMOS MARTINEZ, J.M. e HERNANDEZ HERNANDEZ, J.L.. Osteoporosis and osteoarthritis: two mutually exclusive diseases or two related entities?. Rev Osteoporos Metab Miner [online]. 2013, vol.5, n.2, pp.109-115. ISSN 2173-2345. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1889-836X2013000200008.
The possible association between osteoporosis and osteoarthritis represents an ongoing matter of debate. It was considered, for decades, that both diseases were mutually exclusive due to the anthropometric characteristics and the difference in bone mass that patients with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis often present. However, in recent years, it was pointed out that both processes can coexist, and even that they may have a direct relationship. In this paper we review some aspects of the association between both diseases from a temporal perspective.
