Broken bones due to osteoporosis are especially serious
for people over 50, and not just because of the pain.
A broken hip is very traumatic for the body, and many
people who were previously independent can become unable
to walk properly and may need long-term care.
Severe loss of height and a stooping posture can also
make life very difficult, affecting movement and general
fitness, and leading to a very restricted lifestyle.
Osteoporosis cannot be cured. However, the good news is that there are several treatments that can help to improve bone structure and strength, and help prevent fractures before they happen.
