Abstract:
Osteoporosis is a risk for as many as 28 million Americans, with the risk being higher in women than men. Osteoporosis is frequently not diagnosed until a fracture occurs. Early screening and detection are critical to prevent fractures and subsequent debilitation. Proper nutrition and exercise are vital to preventing and treating osteoporosis.
