OSTEOPOROSIS: ARE YOU AT RISK?

It is estimated that as many as one in four Canadian women and one in eight Canadian men over the age of fifty suffer from osteoporosis. This is a disease in which bones become porous, brittle and weak, and more likely to fracture.

It's never too late to take some action. People of all ages can benefit from preventive strategies. Prevention is most effective when started at a young age.
