OSTEOPOROSIS FACTS

• Osteoporosis causes weak bones, pain and fractures.

• Osteoporosis affects an estimated 3 million people in the UK.

• 1 in 3 women and 1 in 12 men over 50 will suffer from this debilitating and painful condition.

• Up to 25% of bone mass can be lost following six months of inactivity.

THE GOOD NEWS IS ...

• Osteoporosis is treatable at any age. It’s never too late to start.

• Bone mass can be increased by a healthy diet, supplements and regular exercise.

• We offer a personalised portable screening service to identify those at risk of developing osteoporosis, and advice for those already suffering.
