Abstract
The UK National Osteoporosis Guideline Group (NOGG) first produced a guideline on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in 2008, with updates in 2013, 2017 and 2021. This paper presents a minor update of the 2021 guideline, the scope of which is to review the assessment and management of osteoporosis and the prevention of fragility fractures in postmenopausal women and men aged 50 years and older.
Where available, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and randomised controlled trials have been used to provide the evidence base. Conclusions and recommendations have been systematically graded according to the strength of the available evidence.
