Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacological Approaches:
There has been a noticeable decrease in publications centered around traditional pharmacological treatments for osteoporosis, suggesting a shift towards more innovative therapies and holistic management approaches. - Osteoporosis in Young Populations:
The focus on osteoporosis research in younger populations, particularly adolescents and young adults, seems to be waning, possibly due to a growing emphasis on aging populations who are at higher risk. - Basic Science Studies:
Research focused solely on the basic science aspects of bone and muscle biology, without clinical implications, is becoming less frequent, as the journal prioritizes translational and clinical research. - Surgical Interventions for Osteoporosis:
There is a decline in studies specifically addressing surgical interventions for osteoporosis-related fractures, indicating a possible shift towards non-surgical management strategies.
