Media Registration open for IOF World Congress on Osteoporosis
Journalists are invited to register for the only global congress dedicated specifically to all aspects of osteoporosis. The International Osteoporosis Foundation World Congress on Osteoporosis in Bangkok, Thailand from December 3-7 2008 will bring together clinicians and researchers presenting their latest research on one of the world's most common and debilitating diseases which affects one in three women and one in five men over the age of 50. Accredited journalists have free registration to the Congress as well as access for all conference media materials and documentation, use of a fully equipped media center, access to all scientific sessions.
Why should you report on the congress?
- new clinical developments in osteoporosis management and treatment, as well as interesting epidemiological findings will be announced for the first time
- a special bone health and nutrition session will feature messages of interest to a wide readership
- an Asian osteoporosis audit (policy, epidemiology) will give insights into osteoporosis-related issues in Asia, a region where the incidence of osteoporosis is rising to epidemic proportions.

World Osteoporosis Day
Why not write an article for World Osteoporosis Day 2008?
World Osteoporosis Day, held on October 20 each year, is the perfect opportunity to publish an article about osteoporosis, the disease which affects one in three women and one in five men around the world. We can provide you with the tools you need to write an interesting and informative article for your readers (fact sheets, images, quotes etc). 2008 and 2009 will be the ‘Years of Bone Activism’, seeking to mobilize public opinion to generate change in osteoporosis healthcare policies.
The motto is ‘Stand tall – speak out for your bones’ .

In 2007 the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) launched one of its most far-reaching World Osteoporosis Day campaigns ever. Celebrated on October 20, 2007, the day kicked off a year-long campaign centered around the theme "Beat the Break: Know and reduce your osteoporosis risk factors".
