World Osteoporosis Day 2024

No more broken bones. No more broken lives.

World Osteoporosis Day 2024 will take place on Sunday 20 October.

This World Osteoporosis Day, we're on a mission to raise awareness, encourage early diagnosis, and support groundbreaking research to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Together, we can ensure that no one suffers the misery of late diagnosis ever again.
