About Us



The Build Better Bones website is a project of the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), the world’s largest non-governmental organization in the field of osteoporosis and related bone disorders. IOF brings together more than 300 patient and medical societies, as well as leading physicians and researchers in the bone field, from all regions of the world.

Together, our vision is a world without fragility fractures in which healthy mobility is a reality for all.
