The international foundation of the osteoporosis (IOF) stirred up to all the 27 countries of I stops continuing to look recognition and the action of the government to surpass burden increasing that the osteoporosis place in systems of the health during all Europe, because the work continues in as the report to measure the status of the management of the osteoporosis through the member states.
The IOF is working with members of panel of consultation of the osteoporosis of I stops preparing the report, osteoporosis in the europia union in 2008: Ten years of the progress and challenges ongoing, for the launching in the occasion of day 2008 of the osteoporosis of the world. This report will compare findings current with the eight published original recommendations in 1998 for commission European and the osteoporosis in the europia community: A call to the action, published in 2001, to evaluate the progress in the diagnosis, the treatment, the politics of the reimbursement, the research, and the instruction.
Speaking in Brussels in the meeting of the panel of consultation of the osteoporosis of I, the professor John Kanis, president of the IOF, notable, “through Europe, osteoporosis are a problem of main public health with serious medical and economic impact. When he will have many advances in the management of the osteoporosis on the 10 passed years, the important openings of the care still exist.”
For the example, the recommended number of mineral machines of the density of the bone (BMD) is 10,6 machines for a million inhabitants. When this to improve since 2001, 12 countries only tell the availability of BMD beyond 10.6. , similarly even so efficient, the evidence-base treatments are extensively available during all I, are frequent restrictive criteria for the reimbursement, special there before the first breaking occurs, adjusting to the period of training for the patients untreated that they are in a raised risk more for subsequent breakings. When 19 are of 27 countries to tell that these treatments are available before the first breaking, the limitations based on the age or in the density of the bone that tests they make them frequent inaccessible.
Professor Juliet Compston, chair of the member of the panel of consultation of the osteoporosis of I, of plate of the IOF and the professor of the medicine of the bone, university of the school of Cambridge of the clinical medicine, added, “the impact of the osteoporosis during all I represents a significant drain in budgets of healthcare. However, the highly efficient treatments are now available and the significant economies can be made hindering breakings, to rather of that treating.”
In 2000, during all the region, hip had new breakings one estimates 620,000; 574,000 breakings of forearm; 250,000 breakings of the shoulder; spinal e 620,000 breakings in the men and the aged women 50 years or excess, accounting for 34.8% of such 2,7 there breakings worldwide.1 are more than million breakings osteoporotic in the men and in the women in Europe in 36 a direct cost of billion euros.2 it is esteem that per 2050, the costs right-handers related to the the 76,7 breakings of hip will increase billion euros.3
As the part of Brussels of today that it meets with, the members of panel of consultation of the osteoporosis of I had been joined by the members of the group of interest of the osteoporosis of parliament European, all the MEPs of the party that had supported the reform of the politics of health in the osteoporosis.

The osteoporosis, where the bones if transform and rupture fcilmente porous, are one of the world most common and illnesses debilitating. The result: it causes pain, loss of the movement, inability to execute you cry daily, and in many cases, death. If it are of three women on 50 will try breakings osteoporotic, as a rejection of five men. 4.5.6 unhappyly, to select for peoples in the risk are far of being one practical standard. The osteoporosis can, to some extension, hindered being, can fcilmente be diagnosised and the efficient treatments are available.
The international foundation of the osteoporosis (IOF) is the only dedicated organization worldwide to the fight of meeting to the osteoporosis. It brings together scientists, patient doctors, societies and the incorporated partners. Working with its 184 societies of the member in 89 positions, and other organizations healthcare-related around the world, the IOF stimulates the conscience and the prevention, advanced detection and improved treatment of the osteoporosis.
