CSA Working Groups and Research Projects
CSA Working Groups
The Full Members of the CSA have been split into working groups based on their different areas of expertise. The objectives of the different working groups are:
-
To formulate international policy guidance and statements to update IOF positions as appropriate.
- To focus on producing projects of international relevance and delivering a position paper.
The six CSA working groups are:
Epidemiology/Quality of Life
Co-chaired by Prof. C. Cooper and Prof. J.A. Kanis
Pathophysiology
Chaired by Prof. S. Ferrari
Nutrition
Chaired by Dr. A. Mithal
Bone Imaging
Chaired by Prof. H.K. Genant
Orthopaedics/Fracture
Chaired by Prof. K. Åkesson
Educational Activities for Young Investigators
Chaired by Prof. E. Seeman
Below are links to descriptions of the major working groups and research projects supported by IOF in the past. Several of the projects were established by the European Foundation for Osteoporosis (EFFO) before it merged with the International Federation of Societies on Skeletal Diseases (IFSSD) in 1998 to become the IOF.
