MEETING POCKET GUIDE

WELCOME LETTER 

Dear Colleague, 

We are pleased to welcome all ISCD and IOF colleagues to 

Impact of New Paradigms on Skeletal Assessment: Are You 

Prepared?, a joint ISCD-IOF meeting. Prompt and concerted 

inter-organizational cooperation has yielded a world-class 

skeletal health meeting with global representation and 

impact. At this joint meeting, we anticipate an interchange of 

ideas that will stimulate thought and debate, with the goal of 

advancing global skeletal health. 

The ISCD-IOF Annual Meeting Committee and the Board hope you 

enjoy the Joint Meeting!

Find out about the exciting new total P1NP bone marker. The medications 

on the market have proven to reduce osteoporotic fractures, however, 

these medications have not reached their full effect due to poor patient 

compliance. By giving patients earlier feedback, it has been verified that 

patients keep taking their medications. Biochemical Markers of Bone can 

tell you, as early as 90 days of treatment start, if the patient’s 

antiresorptive or anabolic therapy is effective.
