Oct 20 is World Osteoporosis Day which is a fitting time to share some recent cool data from The Bone Clinic in Brisbane. The LIFTMOR trial showed 2x week ONERO was enough to increase bone mass, so we consider 2x week ONERO for 48 weeks a year (allowing 4 weeks for holidays, illness etc) to be 100% adherence (attendance). People often ask me if once a week is enough to cause bone benefit or if 3 times is better than 2. You need a lot of data to answer those questions and after 9 years we finally have it. Look at this plot showing % change in lumbar spine BMD according to adherence. Some people are attending >100% which means 3 times a week. Interestingly you can see that just once a week still had an effect but 2 and 3 times improved bone more. Cool huh? Happy World OP Day from TBC!
