This article examines the population aging problem as one of the demographic aspects affecting osteoporosis incidence and the health care system measures aimed at preventing the bone mineral density reduction and low-energy fractures occurrence. A forecast average variant of the Federal State Statistics Service about the population estimated number and structure in the Russian Federation until 2035 was studied. According to the above mentioned, the proportion of elderly people in the population will reach 30.1% against the background of the predicted increase in life expectancy in our country up to 77.13 years. The future demographic aging problem is a concern for the medical community since an increase in the incidence of elderly age diseases is expected. The article deals wi th the Federal Clinical Guidelines “Pathological fractures leading to osteoporosis complications” and starting drug prevention of recurrent low-energy fractures using the ossein-hydroxyapatite complex. On January 1, 2019, the Federal Project “The Older Generation” became effective. It involves significant allotments for improving medical care for older citizens.

Keywords: osteoporosis, demography, population aging, population size, low-energy fractures, ossein-hydroxyapatite complex, Osteogenon.
