Transcript of World Osteoporosis Day

Osteoporosis, which literally means porous bone, is a disease in which the density and quality of the bone are reduced.

As bones become more porous and fragile, the risk of fracture is greatly increased.

International Osteoporosis Foundation

The IOF One-Minute Osteoporosis Risk Test will alert you to any risk factors you may have. If you are over the age of 50 years and you have one or more risk factors you should discuss these with your doctor and ask for assessment.
