A new IOF position statement assesses the potential link between MGUS and fracture risk and offers the first clinical guidance on bone health for patients with MGUS.

📄 Read the full paper (Open Access) here: https://bit.ly/4jKNlAv

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a haematological condition among older adults, yet its impact on bone health is not widely recognised.

IOF hopes the Bone Cancer Working Group's new position statement will raise awareness of this challenging condition and encourage timely recognition and appropriate management of bone fragility in patients with MGUS, such as screening for MGUS when investigating a fragility fracture, undertaking a comprehensive bone evaluation when clinical MGUS is diagnosed, and treating patients at risk with antiresorptive agents at osteoporosis rather than oncology doses.

The paper will be especially relevant to GPs, endocrinologists, rheumatologists, haematologists, gynaecologists, geriatricians, advanced practice nurses, and internists.

Paper Title: “Clinical guidance on evaluation and management of bone fragility in patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS): an IOF position statement

NEW BoneCast Webinar: Multimorbidity and Fracture Risk
🗓️ 29 October 2026 🕚 11:00–12:00 CET
Register here 👉 https://bit.ly/3VpfbIA

Older adults with multiple chronic conditions face a heightened risk of a second fracture, yet competing health concerns often push fracture prevention down the list.

In this session, Prof Robert Blank, physician-scientist at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney and member of the IOF Committee of Scientific Advisors, shows how to quantify refracture risk across multimorbidity clusters and fracture sites to identify high-risk patients.

This year's International Day of Older Persons theme, "The Age of Longevity: Rethinking Systems for Longer Lives," is a call to make sure the extra years we gain are lived in good health – and that includes strong bones.

🌍 Worldwide, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis, but many of these fractures can be prevented.

Protect your bones at any age by:

🏃‍♀️ Staying active with weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises
🥗 Eating a nutritious and varied diet packed with calcium, protein, and vitamin D
🚭 Avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol
🩺 Knowing your risk factors and talking to your doctor about your bone health

On the International Day of Older Persons, let's remember that healthy ageing also includes strong bones.

New on the IOF website: kale and roasted beetroot bites with Le Gruyère AOP, a recipe by MasterChef Switzerland chefs Ben & Léo. It's packed with two nutrients your bones rely on: calcium and protein.

Per serving:
🧀 647 mg calcium
💪 24 g protein

Calcium is the main building block of bone, and protein helps keep both bones and muscles strong as we age.

☀️ Remember to pair this dish with safe sun exposure (10–20 mis, avoiding the hottest part of the day) or vitamin D-rich foods for maximum bone health impact. You can find a list here: https://bit.ly/3TxDEur

In partnership with Gruyère AOP

Le Gruyère AOP cheese is made with raw milk from cows fed on grass in summer and hay in winter, both grown locally in Switzerland.

🦴 Every fragility fracture can serve to prevent the next one.

When fracture patients are not screened for osteoporosis or offered treatment, it leaves them at risk of subsequent fractures.

Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) provide a coordinated approach to secondary fracture prevention, helping ensure that patients who present with a fragility fracture receive appropriate fracture risk assessment, treatment and follow-up.

This World Osteoporosis Day, IOF and Capture The Fracture® call on hospitals and health systems to implement and strengthen FLS as part of comprehensive post-fracture care.

Is your healthcare facility ready to join the Capture the Fracture® network? Complete the Best Practice Framework Questionnaire to assess your post-fracture care programme:

Let’s close the secondary fracture prevention gap and improve outcomes for people living with fragility fractures.
