Abstract

The International Osteoporosis Foundation, in collaboration with Brazilian bone health experts, released a report titled "Solutions for Fracture Prevention in Brazil." The report highlights the increasing public health concern of fragility fractures in Brazil, with an estimated 400,000 fractures occurring annually and significant impacts on patients, families, and the healthcare system. Without immediate action, the number of fractures is expected to increase by 60% between 2015 and 2030, emphasizing the need for improved prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoporosis in the country. The report offers concrete recommendations tailored to Brazil's needs and is accompanied by a social media campaign to raise awareness about fragility fractures and share key messages with the public, healthcare professionals, and policymakers.
