Journal Guide

An international multi-disciplinary journal which is a joint initiative between the International Osteoporosis Foundation and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA, Osteoporosis International provides a forum for the communication and exchange of current ideas concerning the diagnosis, prevention, treatment and management of osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases. It publishes: original papers - reporting progress and results in all areas of osteoporosis and its related fields; review articles - reflecting the present state of knowledge in special areas of summarizing limited themes in which discussion has led to clearly defined conclusions; educational articles - giving information on the progress of a topic of particular interest; case reports - of uncommon or interesting presentations of the condition. While focusing on clinical research, the Journal will also accept submissions on more basic aspects of research, where they are considered by the editors to be relevant to the human disease

Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia is the official, peer-reviewed open-access journal of the Asian Federation of Osteoporosis Societies. The journal aims to further research in the areas of osteoporosis, fracture, sarcopenia, frailty, metabolic bone diseases, mineral metabolism, as well as biology, physiology, and pathology of bone and muscle with a specific focus on Asian uniqueness in genetic, ethnic, social, and environmental differences.
