Needs Assessment
Osteoporosis is a major public health threat for an estimated 44 million Americans, or 55 percent of the people 50 years of age and older. In the U.S. today, 10 million individuals are estimated to already have the disease and almost 34 million more are estimated to have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis.

The Osteoporosis Clinical Updates Editorial Board is comprised of medical specialists, nonspecialists, and a variety of other healthcare professionals involved in research in and management of osteoporosis.
Each issue of Osteoporosis Clinical Updates is available for 1.0 continuing education contact hours for physicians. Participants will be able to read the content, register, and complete the self-assessment information to acquire their credit. A $10 processing fee will be applied.
