National & Regional Osteoporosis Guidelines

Visit the Health Professionals section of the IOF website to see a listing of many of the osteoporosis guidelines from around the world.

IOF does not officially endorse national or regional guidelines. This is because osteoporosis prevalence and some aspects of the prevention and treatment of fractures are country or region-specific. There may be multiple guidelines from any one country or region.

The references also include a link to the full text on external websites or to a PDF if available.

Please note: this list will be updated periodically. If your country or region has evidence-based guidelines (ref. 1), which are not listed on the IOF website, or if an updated version is available, please contact Prof. J. E. Compston via IOF at info@iofbonehealth.org.
