Osteoporosis is nowadays big burden for aging societies. However, low treatment rate even after first hip fracture results in the increase of second hip fracture in both developed and developing countries. Fracture liaison services, commonly known as FLS, are coordinator-based, secondary fracture prevention services implemented by health care systems for the treatment of osteoporotic patients. Osteoporosis liaison service (OLS) in Japan includes not only FLS but also educational program, medical check-up for bone fragility and risk assessment for primary fracture in osteoporotic subjects. Japan Osteoporosis Society gives coordinators and medical doctors the certificates as a specialist for OLS since 2015. OLS in Japan should facilitate better performance of the treatment of osteoporosis and should contribute the reduction of clinical fractures.
如今，骨质疏松症已成为老龄化社会的一大负担。然而，即使在首次髋部骨折后，治疗率较低也导致发达国家和发展中国家二次髋部骨折的发生率上升。骨折联络服务（通常称为FLS）是由医疗保健系统实施的、基于协调员的二级骨折预防服务，用于治疗骨质疏松症患者。日本的骨质疏松症联络服务（OLS）不仅包括FLS，还包括教育项目、骨脆性医学检查以及骨质疏松症患者原发性骨折的风险评估。自2015年起，日本骨质疏松症协会向协调员和医生颁发OLS专科医生证书。日本的OLS应促进骨质疏松症治疗的更好开展，并有助于减少临床骨折。
