Funded Activity Summary

Fragility fractures contribute to reduced quality of life in younger adults with chronic disease. However, tools for predicting these fractures and evidence for the best treatment to prevent them is lacking in this group. We aim to address these gaps in evidence through assessment of bone health in younger adults with two chronic diseases related to increased inflammation of either the bowel or joints, as they are the two leading conditions resulting in fragility fractures in younger adults.
