Abstract

Background: Osteoporosis leads to an increase in bone fragility with a decrease in bone mass. Literature data reports a decreased risk of fracture and a higher bone mineral density in subjects on beta blockers. However, few literature studies reported no effect of non-selective or selective beta blockers on fracture risk in osteoporosis subjects.
