CRD SUMMARY: This review compared therapies for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. The authors concluded that several therapeutic options were found to improve bone mineral density and reduce the risk of bone fractures. The review had several methodological weaknesses and was poorly reported. More focused and better-reported reviews are required to verify the conclusions.
