The myth that osteoporosis is a little, old white lady’s disease is still out there. It’s a myth we need to dispel because, from the latest research, we know that all our population groups are affected by osteoporosis. People are not aware enough of this fact. Everyone can get osteoporosis. Through early recognition of risk factors and DXA testing, be alert to your future ‘bone wealth’. Manage your ‘expenses’ by stopping risky behaviours such as smoking, lack of calcium, lack of weight-bearing exercise and excessive alcohol consumption. Invest in the future by safeguarding and amplifying your bone health through bone-healthy nutrition and weight-bearing/resistance exercise.
