Only available as part of a package

This presentation will provide data on the need to better synergize frailty/sarcopenia, falls prevention, and secondary fracture prevention programs to maximize patient outcomes (given that for many patients, their frailty/age-related muscle weakness leads to falls which in many patients leads to fractures. Currently, these disciplines are working for the most part in separate silos and bringing these efforts together to encourage collaboration and partnership will lead to better overall patient outcomes by working to reduce patient frailty, better address falls prevention, and reduce future fracture risk by ensuring patients receive appropriate screening, diagnosis and treatment if needed to manage their underlying osteoporosis/bone health.
