Abstract

The worldwide predominance of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic will have tremendous consequences on bone health of the general population and specifically to the bone mineral density of both young and elderly adolescents, due to sedentary lifestyle resulting from the prolonged and repeated lockdown. Scientific articles argue about the short and long term consequences on bone health resulting from the social isolation and the subsequent sedentary behaviors, whereas experts focus their scientific interest at guidelines for diagnosis, management and prevention of osteoporosis in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic
