In an effect evaluation the investigators will examine the effects of participating in osteoporosis patient education. An intervention group who have already participated in patient education will be compared to a matched control group who have not participated. Effects on quality of life, fractures, daily functional capacity, self-efficacy, psychological wellbeing, physical function, balance, falls, pain management, and adherence will be examined.
