In 2022, the International Osteoporosis Foundation announced the "Step Up For Bone Health" campaign as the theme. In 2019, the global World Osteoporosis Day campaign was "That's Osteoporosis" and it will focus on the emotional visuals and stories of real people living with osteoporosis in all regions of the world.
