SUMMARY:World Osteoporosis Day
DESCRIPTION:World Osteoporosis Day is celebrated annually on October 20th. The global campaign\, led by the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF)\, emphasizes lifelong bone health—from building strong bones in childhood to preventing fractures and maintaining mobility in later life.  \n\n\n\nIn Ireland\, the Irish Osteoporosis Society spearheads awareness efforts\, providing valuable resources and hosting local events to help people assess their bone health. The condition is often called a “silent disease” because it progresses without obvious symptoms until a fracture occurs
