Abstract
On October 2005 a multidisciplinary group of delegates, which included endocrinologists, geriatricians, rheumatologists, orthopedic surgeons, gynecologists, general physicians, nurses, and patient group representatives were invited to Dublin, Ireland to draw a Consensus of the group’s opinions to form a document that would set out a call for action for professional and patient organizations. The seven lectures presented by the Faculty members included the impact of osteoporosis, the role of vitamin D both in physiology and in the prevention of fractures and falls in the elderly, the widespread prevalence of vitamin D inadequacy, and the patient and physician knowledge and attitude to vitamin D supplementation. The speakers were challenged with numerous questions by the skilled and experienced audience and a MetaForum newsletter was generated (Table I). The Declaration document encompassed action points to be accomplished and measures of success at given times. As some of the deadlines for reaching the proposed goals are approaching, it could of use to have a thought on what has been accomplished, how much needs to be done and the possible ways to hit the targets.
