Current research reveals one in three Australian women and one in five Australian men over the age of 50 are affected by Osteoporosis, a condition where bones become brittle and fragile, leading to a higher risk of fractures than in normal bone. According to Osteoporosis Australia, osteoporosis is on the rise and is a silent disease that is largely undetected until the first fracture. Exercise, diet and supplementation can help reduce your risk of developing osteoporosis.
