The International Osteoporosis Foundation's 2022 campaign will urge people of all ages to follow a bone-healthy lifestyle for osteoporosis prevention and management using the campaign slogan 'Step Up for Bone Health'.

World Osteoporosis Day aims to make osteoporosis and fracture prevention a global health priority. 

IOF's new report, "Broken bones, broken lives: A roadmap to solve the fragility fracture crisis in Europe," (with country-specific editions), provides new evidence that the clinical, societal and cost burdens associated with fragility fractures in Europe are a growing public health concern requiring urgent action.

Worldwide, fractures due to osteoporosis affect one in three women, and one in five men, ages 50 or over. Only a minority of patients are diagnosed and receive treatment.
