Osteoporosis is a degenerative bone disease that makes bones thinner, weaker, and prone to fracture. Once considered a rare condition isolated to elderly women, cases of osteoporosis are now climbing at an alarming rate, affecting one out of every two people over the age of fifty in the United States. A woman’s risk of hip fracture is now equal to her risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer combined. Doctor visits for osteoporosis have grown by 500% over the last ten years. And one out of every five cases now occurs in men. Many have suffered because they succumbed to the myths about osteoporosis, but the facts tell a completely different story. Take care of your bones, or pay the consequences. The greatest tragedy in all of this is that most cases of osteoporosis are completely preventable. Taking action now can help you slow and even reverse bone loss, but only if you’re armed with the right tools, the latest technology, and a willingness to adopt some bone-smart lifestyle changes.

Osteoporosis rarely reveals itself until fractures occur. And many fractures are so small, they go undetected until it’s too late. Risk factors like age, gender, family history of bone issues, diet, tobacco smoking, and others can significantly heighten your risk of developing this disease. So where does a concerned person begin?
