National Osteoporosis Guideline Group

Meaning

The National Osteoporosis Guideline Group (NOGG) is a collaborative, independent, and authoritative body of clinical experts and scientists responsible for developing and disseminating evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis in the United Kingdom. These guidelines integrate fracture risk assessment tools, such as FRAX, with bone mineral density measurements and clinical risk factors to provide a comprehensive, risk-stratified approach to patient care. The NOGG framework is widely influential in international endocrinology and bone health practice, standardizing the threshold for pharmacological intervention. Their recommendations are essential for optimizing skeletal health and reducing the burden of fragility fractures.
