Osteoporosis

The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) is the leading health organization dedicated to preventing osteoporosis and broken bones, promoting strong bones for life and reducing human suffering through programs of public and clinician awareness, education, advocacy and research. Established in 1984, NOF is the nation’s only health organization solely dedicated to osteoporosis and bone health.

Partnering with 209 national societies in 96 global locations, as well as scientists and companies around the world, IOF works towards the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis and bone, muscle and joint disorders.

The American Orthopaedic Association’s Own the Bone® program is a national post-fracture, systems-based, multidisciplinary fragility fracture prevention initiative. Its Web-based program and 10 prevention measures transform the way your hospital treats fracture patients. The ultimate goal is to change physician and patient behavior to reduce incidence of future fractures and positively impact osteoporosis treatment.
