UK National Osteoporosis Guideline Group (NOGG) launches 2017 update

The Society for Endocrinology is pleased to announce that the UK National Osteoporosis Guideline Group (NOGG) 2017 Update has now been released via their website. 

This new Guideline, accredited by NICE, includes a number of updates on risk assessment, management and treatments. An obvious change is the alteration to the age-related assessment and intervention thresholds so that these now remain constant from the age of 70 years upwards. The thresholds remain automatically accessible from the FRAX UK risk assessment tool. 

The full Guideline, and an updated Patient Information Leaflet, are available in PDF formats from the website. 

The Guideline has also recently been published in Archives in Osteoporosis (doi 10.1007/s11657-017-0324-5).
