Thank you for your interest in the Bone Health and Fractures Research Program, a research group that focuses on improving and maintaining musculoskeletal health in older men and women as part of the healthy aging process.
Postmenopausal women are at an increased risk of developing osteoporosis. The OsteoPreP study is investigating whether daily supplementation with probiotics for 12 months can reduce or prevent bone loss and improve metabolic health in postmenopausal women.

FRAX® is the most widely used fracture risk prediction tool and is incorporated in over 100 clinical guidelines worldwide. It has an enormous impact on standard care for osteoporosis patients by aiding to identify those at highest risk and selecting the most effective pharmacological treatment.
FRAX® Tool
Using population-based cohorts and database studies, we aim to identify novel risk factors for fracture and falls which could lead to novel therapies and/or lifestyle factors to prevent these outcomes in older adults.
