One bone is broken every minute in the UK due to osteoporosis. Affecting 1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men over 50, the condition is one of the most serious threats to living well in later life.

Left untreated, osteoporosis threatens our freedom, dignity, quality of life and independence. 

 

We’re the Royal Osteoporosis Society – the UK’s largest national charity dedicated to improving bone health and beating osteoporosis.

And we’re here for everyone. We equip people with practical information and support to take action on their bone health.

Working with healthcare professionals and policy-makers, we’re influencing and shaping policy and practice at every level.

We’re driving the research and development of new treatments, to beat osteoporosis together

 

Our vision is for strong and health bones for life. 

We’re committed to our public mission to raise awareness and inspire action among the public and policy-makers, demanding change for the 3.5 million people who live with osteoporosis.

We want to seize the moment and beat this condition together.
