TOPIC: OSTEOPOROSIS

Osteoporosis is a condition which weakens bones over time. It is a silent disease – you can’t see it or feel it until a fracture happens. In the US, 44 million people have low bone density and 50% of post menopausal women will fracture a bone due to osteoporosis. Approximately 20% of those who experience a hip fracture will die within the year following the fracture. In this seminar you will learn about osteoporosis – what it is, signs and symptoms, risk factors, treatment, prevention, exercise and fall reduction techniques.
