Osteoporosis is a global issue. The International Osteoporosis Foundation is an NGO based in Switzerland that works to pull together foundations from all continents. The IOF is interested in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis, as well as other bone, muscle, and joint disorders. Education with the goal of raising public awareness about bone health is an important IOF function.
IOF has exercise recommendations based on recent studies from around the world, including a long-term study on women who were followed for 16 years. The recommendations depend on the population. What makes sense for children and adolescents is not what is recommended for post-menopausal women or older men.
