One in three women will suffer from osteoporosis in their lifetimes. Certain lifestyle factors such as smoking, inadequate intake of Vitamin D amd calcium, excessive alcohol consumption can increase a woman’s risk of developing osteoporosis. Age, family history of osteoporosis, menopause and low body weight can also be risk factors.

Because osteoporosis left undiagnosed and untreated can be disabling and increase your risk of fracture, the International Osteoporosis Foundation invites women to take their interactive
IOF One Minute Osteoporosis Risk Test.
