Exercises for Better Bones - How Exercise C?? Hel? With Bone Health, Fragile Bones and Fractures

WHAT IS OSTEOPOROSIS?

Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and weak, leading to an increased risk of fractures (broken bones). People with osteoporosis can experience a fracture even after a slight bump, or a fall from standing height, in the course of daily activities. Osteoporosis has no signs or symptoms until a fracture occurs - this is why it is often called a 'silent disease'. Fractures due to osteoporosis occur most commonly at sites such as the wrist, upper arm, pelvis, hip and spine, and can result in severe pain, significant disability and even death

A COMMON DISEASE

It is estimated that worldwide, an osteoporotic fracture occurs every three seconds. One in three women and one in five men at the age of 50 will suffer a fracture in their remaining lifetimes. In women over 45 years of age, fractures due to osteoporosis result in more days spent in hospital than many other diseases, including diabetes, heart attack and breast cancer.
