Bone health explained - Consumer guide
A resource that outlines the significance of bone health as a core element of overall wellbeing. It details how poor bone health can lead to osteoporosis, a condition where bones become brittle and porous, elevating the risk of fractures. Osteoporosis commonly affects specific areas of the skeleton more than others, with frequent fracture sites including the hip, wrist, and spine, as well as the ankle, leg, forearm, upper arm, and ribs. The guide aims to educate consumers on understanding osteoporosis and the importance of maintaining strong bones to prevent such injuries.
