Osteoporosis
About Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a bone disease where your bones have loss bone material, making them less dense than normal
Low density bone means weaker, more brittle bone that is at a higher risk of fracture
Known as the “silent disease”, it can develop over many years without any symptoms
Osteoporosis is most common in older adults, and post-menopausal women over the age of 50 years of age, with women being fours times as likely to develop this than men
It is important for adults over the age of 50 to begin regularly talking to their doctors about monitoring their “bone mineral density”
If you have a family history of osteoporosis, it would be beneficial to begin monitoring “bone mineral density” earlier
Medical Physician
It is always important to consult your family physician on regular monitoring and further steps to help manage your osteoporosis
