Facts

FACT #1:

Osteoporosis is more common in women than men, especially after menopause, due to reduced estrogen that leads to loss of bone density.

FACT #2:

A healthy diet with sufficient calcium and vitamin D helps reduce the risk of osteoporotic fractures.

FACT #3:

Osteoporosis is often called a silent disease because bone loss occurs without symptoms, and by the time fractures or noticeable changes appear, the condition is usually already advanced.
