IOF and the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation (BHOF) have developed a clear and simple tool aiming to help primary care providers initiate a dialogue with their patients about osteoporosis and fracture risk. It is intended to be used during medical consultations to improve patients’ understanding of their condition and provide them with essential information about anti-osteoporosis medications and their relative risks and benefits.
