Description
Osteoporosis (“porous bone”) is a condition that causes bones to become fragile and increases their risk of breaking. It is a real condition with serious effects on women's health and quality of life; at the same time, it is a condition that has become over-advertised and over-treated. This fact sheet provides information about osteoporosis and treatment options, including screening and alternative ways to prevent the condition.
