Multiscale modelling to predict the risk of osteoporotic bone fractures VPHOP Integrated project
Osteoporosis is a killer • OP fractures kill as many women as breast cancer • 30 to 50% of all women and 15 to 30% of all men will face an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime • 4,000,000 fractures every year cost Europe €30,000,000,000 • Forecast to double by 2050 • 250,000 elders will die of related complications within 12 months, all others will remain impaired
The VPHOP Consortium • 21 partners • 7 industrial partners • 5 clinical centres • Research leaders in: Biomechanics, biomaterials, computer sciences, biomedical informatics, mechanobiology, CAS, technology assessment, medical imaging & instrument.
