Under the patronage of KAU Center of Excellence for Osteoporosis Research – Jeddah - Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

The Center of Excellence for Osteoporosis Research is one of the most renowned research centers not only throughout the kingdom but across the entire Middle East. It was established to study, revise and diagnose treatments relating to osteoporosis. Its main objective is to create awareness, transfer the biotechnology needed to fight the disease and prevent others from being affected by it.

In concurrence with other research studies, The Centre of Excellence for Osteoporosis Research has showed that the disease is growing in the Kingdom. Studies show that Saudi males and females affected by the disease over the age of 50, are (32%) and (44.5%) respectively. These rates are in fact high in comparison to other rates around the world.

It is also speculated the disease could affect as many as 900000 persons by 2030. More recent studies show that these figures stand at an alarming rate making us all responsible for doing what little we can to combat the disease.
