The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) and European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis (ESCEO) published guidance for the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis in 2019.
Review and update the assessment of osteoporosis, in particular the categorisation of risk to better target therapeutic interventions for the prevention of fragility fracture in postmenopausal women.
Systematic reviews, meta-analyses and RCT using PubMed subsequent to the generation of the recent European Guidelines.
Recommendations in this guidance have been endorsed by ESCEO and IOF.
