|
COVID 19 is an unexpected pandemic of this century. It has brought unprecedented changes in everyone's life, especially among the older adults and those who come for regular follow-ups in the hospitals for chronic diseases. This review was undertaken to understand the current available evidence on home management of osteoporosis during the COVID-19 pandemic. An extensive search was carried out in the PubMed, CINAHL, ProQuest, and Web of Science databases till November 2020. The search strategy was developed using "keywords" and "Mesh terms" of Osteoporosis and COVID 19. Out of 1515 initial hits, 15 were considered for a final appraisal. There were only six original articles, including one case-control study, one retrospective survey, and four cross-sectional surveys. The remaining nine articles were reviews, literature reviews, viewpoints, short communication, and perspectives. Results were categorized under the headings of exercise and physical activity, sunlight, diet, hospital visit, bone mineral density test, fall prevention, and drugs. This scoping review can further help develop the guidelines for the homecare management of patients with osteoporosis. More complete research studies are required in the area of COVID 19 and osteoporosis.
