The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) is committed to dramatically improving bone, muscle and joint health, and ending the epidemic of fragility fractures that strike millions of people worldwide.

One in three women and one in five men over the age of fifty will experience fractures brought about by osteoporosis. Personal suffering - including pain, disability and death - resulting from these fractures is severe, while the cost to health care systems and individuals is enormous. 

This suffering can be prevented and osteoporotic fractures effectively prevented, diagnosed and treated.
