Why the OPTIONS Study Matters

Why the OPTIONS Study Matters

 

  • The problem is big and growing. Over 10 million adults 65+ have osteoporosis—projected to reach 17 million by 2030. As a result, fractures after falls are common, costly, and too often followed by inconsistent care. Lower limb fractures are linked to long-term disability.
 
  • Real tools, real impact. The study interventions provide staff, clinicians, and residents with practical education and resources to prevent future fractures, reduce falls, restore daily function, and improve quality of life within a year.
