IOF Launches New Osteoporosis Website

Major features include enhanced interactivity; new database-driven architecture; expanded, latest information for patients, the public, health care professionals and the media; new section on nutrition and bone health.

The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) today introduced an extensive, newly designed website in Hong Kong as part of the global launch of World Osteoporosis Day.

The new website - http://www.iofbonehealth.org - replaces the previous site - www.osteofound.org - although the old address will continue to link to the new one.

The new website contains some 1,200 pages and is expected to continue building on the popularity of the existing website, which at present registers some 1.6 million hits per month.

"In spite of the success of the current site, it was time for a change," noted IOF Chief Executive Officer Daniel Navid. "Our original website was created in 1998 and obviously much has changed in the amount of information available in the field of osteoporosis, and also in website design and the way people use the internet to obtain information. The new website makes use of the latest technologies to provide targeted and comprehensive information for a variety of users."
