Are you sure you’re not at risk for osteoporosis?

Have you had any fractures after the age of 50?

Have your parents had osteoporosis or hip fractures?

Did you experience early menopause?

Have you lost height?

Do you suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis?

If you have answered “yes” to even one of these questions, you may be suffering from osteoporosis without knowing it.

Facts and Statistics About Osteoporosis

• As physicians, we are aware of only one-third of spinal fractures that occur in our patients.
• Osteoporosis leads to more hospitalizations than breast cancer.
• 60% of patients with hip fractures still require assistance even one year after the fracture.

Without proper awareness and thorough screening for osteoporosis in every postmenopausal woman or man over the age of 50, we will not be able to reverse the significant financial, psychological, and social burden caused by fractures.

Our clinic is part of the Electronic Osteoporosis Clinic Network (Elecost) and provides standardized screening and monitoring for osteoporosis.
