“…The FRAX™ tool takes a set of pre-determined risk factors and calculates the 10-year probability of an individual’s risk of hip or major osteoporotic (clinical spine, forearm, hip or shoulder) fracture. Furthermore, hip fracture incidence data from Botswana (Southern Africa) [ 50 ], Ethiopia (East Africa) [ 51 ] and Tunisia (North Africa) [ 52 ] 2 have enabled FRAX calibration in these settings. Notably, no data are yet available for a country in West Africa, which is where The Gambia is located.…”

Purpose To review the rising prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in sub-Saharan Africa and the challenges this poses to governments and healthcare services. Using existing studies, we compare the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in men and women from sub-Saharan Africa to US and UK cohorts. Context-specific disparities in healthcare are discussed particularly the challenges in diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis. Recent Findings There are few epidemiological data describing the burden of osteoporosis in sub-Saharan Africa. In the studies and cohorts presented here, osteoporosis prevalence varies by sex, country and area of residence, but is generally higher in African populations, than has previously been appreciated. Risk factors contributing to poorer bone health include HIV, malnutrition and “inflammaging.” Summary Reprioritization towards care of ageing populations is urgently required. Equitable access to implementable preventative strategies, diagnostic services, treatments and pathways of care for bone health (for example embedded within HIV services) need now to be recognized and addressed by policy makers.
