After a huge success for the 16th edition of the WCO-IOF-ESCEO Congress:

• 3817 delegates took part in the largest event in the field of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, frailty and sarcopenia.
• The Scientific Advisory Committee, co-chaired by Professor René Rizzoli and Professor Cyrus Cooper, had an extremely difficult task, to select oral presentations, among 1259 submitted abstracts of the highest quality.
• 598 Awards were distributed during the congress.

The world's leading clinical conference on bone, joint and muscle health will take place in Florence, Italy.
WCO, IOF and ESCEO have worked in partnership for several years to develop a unique European springtime meeting programme for healthcare professionals, researchers and young scientists.

We are eagerly looking forward to welcoming you in Florence from March 23 to March 26, 2017.
