Did you know that many factors
- some within your control, others not - can affect
your risk for bone fracture? One in two women
will have an osteoporosis-related fracture
in her lifetime.
Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones
become fragile and weak, making them more susceptible
to fractures, especially of the spine, hip and
wrist. Osteoporosis is often referred to as a
"silent disease" because it can have few warning
signs in its early stages. While there is no cure
for osteoporosis, there are some steps you can
take to improve your bone health and help prevent
fracture by consulting your healthcare professional.
