It’s time to close the gap in
post-fracture osteoporosis care

In women > 50 years of age,
83% remain undiagnosed and 88% remain untreated one year after experiencing a fracture1,* Working together, we can improve care, reduce fractures, and make a difference for millions.

What is the science behind osteoporosis-related fractures?

Bone is a dynamic structure that undergoes changes as the patient ages, especially in women after menopause.3 Learn more about how these changes contribute to osteoporosis-related fractures, also known as fragility fractures.

*Data are from a patient claims dataset from IQVIA for women over age 50 diagnosed with or treated for osteoporosis, had a fragility fracture, or with at least one medical or pharmacy claim between January 2019–December 2023. Fractures were counted if there was a diagnosis or procedure code for a fragility fracture of the hip, vertebra, femur, pelvis, humerus, radius/ulna, tibia/fibula, or clavicle. For patients with at least one fragility fracture between January 2019–December 2022, claims records were examined for post-fracture care, including the number of patients with a diagnosis code, DXA scan code, or a prescription for an osteoporosis treatment.1
