The overall prevalence of patients prescribed medication for osteoporosis among those aged 18 years or older was 0.56% in Greenland and 2.36% in Denmark (p < 0.001). Among those aged 50 years or older, the prevalence was 1.28% and 4.71% in Greenland and Denmark, respectively (p < 0.001).

In conclusion, the prevalence of treated osteoporosis in Greenland was less than one in four of that of Denmark. The incidence of hip fractures was similar in Greenland than in Denmark. Hence, our findings suggest that a marked number of subjects with osteoporosis in Greenland go untreated.
