Osteoporosis is a condition that affects the bones of our bodies. It is a decrease in the density and quality of bones and can leave you more likely to suffer fractures.

Fractures such as hip fractures can be debilitating and can have a huge impact on the quality of your life.

The International Osteoporosis Foundation has developed an online screening tool to identify risk factors for individuals. You can use this information to talk to your doctor to determine if additional investigations are needed.

Bone health starts in your youth! Regular weight bearing exercise, exposure to sunlight, calcium and avoiding excessive caffeine and alcohol are things you can do now to help ensure you have a healthy life.
