October 20 is World Osteoporosis Day!

Osteoporosis weakens bones without warning, putting more than 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over 50 at risk for a fragility fracture. This years’ theme, “Build, Protect, Strengthen Your Bones for Life," encourages people to:
-Build strong bones early with calcium, vitamin D, protein, and weight-bearing activity
-Protect your bones by learning your risk factors, staying active, and preventing falls
-Strengthen bones with timely screening, treatment, and support after fractures

It’s never too early to take steps toward stronger bones and lasting independence.
