About Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis affects 1 in 3 women and 1 in 12 men during their lifetime and results in bones becoming so porous that they can break easily.
 
However, the disease is largely preventable and if you already have osteoporosis it can be treated to try to halt further bone loss and reduce the risk of broken bones.
