Invest in Your Bones Publications

Since 2001, IOF has published annual 'Invest in Your Bones' publications. These concise reports, authored by leading members of IOF's Committee of Scientific Advisors, summarize information about a particular issue in an easy-to-read format designed for laypeople, policy makers and educators. The issue selected often reflects the theme of World Osteoporosis Day for the same year.

IOF makes the artwork and text available to its members for translation and printing. To date, these influential reports have been translated into more than 30 languages and distributed throughout the world.
