OSTEOPOROSIS REGISTRY OF INDIA
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by low bone mass and micro-architectural
deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in bone fragility and
susceptibility to fractures. Osteoporosis increases the risk of incident fragility
fractures. Fragility fractures are major health concerns that contribute significantly to
morbidity and increased mortality.
Objectives of this registry program
Maintain a comprehensive database of the clinical, biochemical,
hematological and radiological profile of patients diagnosed with osteoporosis
Evaluate the current magnitude of osteoporosis and morbidity and mortality
related to the disease
Assess the trends of therapeutic practices of physicians managing osteoporosis
Conduct and promote research on osteoporosis using clinical, biochemical and
basic science approaches
Educate people about timely screening and management of osteoporosis as
well as regarding fall prevention
Why Osteoporosis registry?
The Osteoporosis Registry of India (ORI) is a nationwide registry developed to record
and maintain the data of Indian patients with osteoporosis. The ORI would be made
accessible to physicians all over the country who are voluntarily willing to be a part of
it. The data recorded in the ORI would be updated periodically. The purpose of the
ORI is to help medical personals and researchers in better understanding of the
disease and apply them into better patient care.
