Patient Educational Resources

Patients who have experienced a fragility fracture, those at high risk, and those living with osteoporosis—as well as their families, whānau, and caregivers—should receive clear, accessible information on bone health. This includes guidance on lifestyle measures (such as exercise, alcohol consumption, and smoking), nutrition (including calcium and vitamin D intake), sun exposure, and the link between osteoporosis and fracture risk.

Clear, accessible educational resources empower patients and caregivers to manage osteoporosis and reduce fracture risk. Encourage patients, family members, whānau and caregivers to explore the Individuals and Families section of this website.

Please encourage your patients and their support networks to explore the Individuals and Families section of this website, where they will find information, fact sheets, and FAQs tailored to their needs. Encourage open discussion of any questions or concerns during consultations.
