Around three million people are living with osteoporosis in the UK and many more could have the condition but don\'t know it This lack of knowledge could, in part, be due to the closure of many NHS healthcare services during the Covid-19 pandemic, including diagnostic screening for the disease Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones lose their strength and are more likely to break This usually happens following a minor bump or fall and results in a fragility fracture The Royal Osteoporosis Society (ROS) fears this backlog could lead to longer-term delays for diagnosis and subsequent treatment ROS osteoporosis nurse specialist Mayrine Fraser conveys that the main issue is that there has been no dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) bone density scans done for months It\'s going to take a long time for services to catch up with appointments, and they are aware that some people haven\'t been able to get their intravenous treatments during the pandemic They fear there are going to be big delays for quite some time
