The Hidden Danger of Osteoporosis

As women age, bone density naturally declines, increasing the risk of fractures. Hip fractures are especially concerning, as they can lead to long-term disability, loss of independence, and even increased mortality rates. In fact, More women will die following hip fractures than from breast cancer annually. Moreso, the ratio of hip fractures and knee and hip replacement surgery has escalated to 70:30 (Women to Men) since the women’s health initiative study in 2002 recommended against HRT.
