Study reveals gaps in fracture risk communication and patients’ preferences for visual representation

A new study has found that although most patients with osteoporosis would like to receive information regarding their fracture risk, only half of them actually receive it. In addition to revealing the significant communication gap between health care professionals and patients in the discussion of osteoporosis fracture risk, the study findings also provide valuable insights into patients’ preferred approaches to communication of fracture risk and the consequences of fractures.
