Osteoporosis affects millions worldwide, silently weakening bones until a fracture occurs. This bone-weakening disease occurs when bone resorption outpaces bone formation, causing the skeletal structure to become porous and brittle. While this condition can affect anyone, it is most common in postmenopausal women and older adults.
Patients are the experts in their condition and advocacy groups provide a platform for patient voices. Working directly with these communities is the key to pushing research forward in an inclusive way.
