Study of the Adequacy Between Calcium Supplementation and Dietary Intake in Treatment-naive Patients After a Fracture

Study of the Adequacy Between Calcium Supplementation and Dietary Intake in Treatment-naive Patients After Fracture With a Fracture Suspected of Being Due to Bone Insufficiency, Consulting a Rheumatologist for the First Time in at Least 5 Years.

Osteoporosis is a disease that causes many fractures. However, treatments exist such as anti-osteoporotic treatments, vitamin D supplementation and an adaptation of calcium intake. 80% of patients with an indication for anti-osteoporotic treatment are never treated with these anti-osteoporotic treatments after a first fracture. On the other hand, more than 84% of them are supplemented with calcium and vitamin D. It often appears in the practice of rheumatologists that some patients are supplemented while their dietary intake is sufficient, and vice versa. The objective of the study is therefore to take stock of the (in)adequacy between the dietary intake of patients and the supplementation prescribed to them following an osteoporotic-like fracture.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patient meeting a first rheumatologist after a fracture suspected of being due to bone insufficiency, whether or not he is already treated for osteoporosis
• Age ≥ 18 years
• Patient followed in one of the three investigation centers within the framework of the bone sector.
• Patient affiliated to a social security system

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient refusing to participate in the study
• Patient already followed by a rheumatologist
• Legal incapacity or any physical, psychological, social or geographical condition likely to hinder the patient's ability to participate in the study
