1. Osteology/osteoporosis
   Osteoporosis (bone loss) is the most common bone condition in old age. 42% of women over 65 are affected; the number is also increasing among men. A total of around 700,000 Austrians suffer from osteoporosis. 
    
2. Autoimmune diseases
   Autoimmune diseases are increasing rapidly and can affect almost every organ system. Conditions such as dermal allergies, autoimmune diseases of the connective tissue or joints such as systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren’s syndrome or chronic polyarthritis are just a few examples.
