OSTEOPOROSIS

Osteoporosis is the gradual bone loss that can eventually lead to fracture. Unfortunately, osteoporosis does not cause symptoms. Therefore, it could exist without any symptoms for years until a fracture occurs. It is estimated that osteoporosis causes approximately 9 million fractures per year or 1 fracture every 3 seconds. Osteoporosis does not only concern women, but it is estimated that 1 in 4 men will suffer from an osteoporotic fracture if they do not receive the appropriate treatment.
