Osteoporosis
is a gradual thinning and weakening of bones, which can lead to bone
fractures. Over 28 million Americans, 80% of whom are women, have
or are at risk of developing this condition. Since osteoporosis is
often referred to as a "silent disease", many are less
likely to find out they have it until they suffer a painful bone
fracture. |
| |
|
| |
 |
There is a safe and easy test that can assess your
risk of developing osteoporosis. |
