Review of osteoporotic fracture research in Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Institute; where we started and where to go

ConclusionsConsidering the importance of osteoporotic fractures in Iran with an ageing trend, Osteoporosis Research Centers can play an essential role in providing evidence for policymakers. Worldwide, there is a large care gap to assess bone health and start treatments after fragility fractures. Accordingly, following international recommendations, practical interventions are required to fill this gap. EMRI began developing the “Registry of osteoporosis” and also pilot the “Fracture Liaison Services”, as an operative model to address the existing care gap and implement applied research in this science area.
