We’re breaking the silence on osteoporosis and bone health. Osteoporosis is one of the worst causes of disability and death in the UK today.
Osteoporosis causes bones to lose strength and break more easily. Half of women and one in five men over the age of 50 will break a bone as a result. One bone is broken every minute in the UK, causing pain, fear and isolation. Osteoporosis is the so called ‘silent condition’ - typified by under-diagnosis, under-treatment and low public awareness. We’re breaking this silence.
Osteoporosis is treatable and broken bones are preventable. With an early diagnosis and the right treatment, people can live well thanks to safe and effective medications.
We’re committed to improving awareness and standards of care, offering expert support and inspiring action among the public and policy makers, to demand change for the 3.5 million who live with osteoporosis and the millions more us at risk in future.
Our vision is for no more broken bones. No more broken lives.
