Theoretically, osteoporosis can strike anyone who has bones in their body, which is all of us. But certain people are at a higher risk, and understanding your risk is an important first step in preventing the disease. Join us as we discuss osteoporosis risk factors, and what can be done to prevent its onset.

Osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are distinct diseases which require very different treatments. But many of their symptoms are similar, which can lead to harmful misdiagnoses. What warning signs should you look out for to recognize each disease? What can you do to make sure your diagnosis is the right one? Join us for an expert look at these two serious conditions.

The greatest fear among women living with osteoporosis is bone fracture. Hip or spinal fractures can be devastating to the lives of otherwise healthy women. Tune in as we take a close look at the risk of fractures in those with osteoporosis, and what can be done to avoid them.

Osteoporosis has long been a concern for any woman approaching her senior years, but until recent recent years there were few treatment options. Now that medical advances have opened up a broad array of treatment strategies, testing for osteoporosis — bone density testing — has become a greater imperative for women at risk. Join our panel of experts as they discuss this test and how it can help you.

People with osteoporosis are often unaware that they have the disease until they sustain a fracture, which can result from the slightest accident. For this reason, screening for osteoporosis is an important health precaution for many women at risk. Tune in as we discuss bone density testing and those people who should consider getting screened for this silent disease.
