Post-fracture care through Fracture Liaison Services is the key to secondary fracture prevention.
On World Osteoporosis Day 2023, the Global Coalition on Aging’s Bone Health Initiative released “Improving Bone Health in the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing,” providing a snapshot of the importance of bone health to healthy aging and the need to implement effective intervention in the form of Fracture Liaison Services, a proven, integrated model of care which provides personalized care to help prevent secondary fractures.
The Bone Health Initiative calls on global and national policymakers, officials in age-friendly cities and communities, healthcare professionals, patient advocacy organizations, employers concerned about the health and employability of older employees, and other societal stakeholders to join us in advocating for the adaptation and prioritization of Fracture Liaison Services to prevent secondary fractures.
