Featured Article: Optimizing osteoporosis management: targeting to treat — an initiative by the Egyptian Academy of Bone Health

The overarching goal of treating osteoporotic patients is to reduce the incidence of fractures, yet interventions that support early detection of osteoporosis and prevention of osteoporotic fractures are underutilized. Osteoporosis and, specifically, the associated burden of fractures call for a screening strategy offering an opportunity to intervene early.
