Every year on 20th October, World Osteoporosis Day is celebrated across the world to raise awareness about the disease that severely affects bone health of an individual. Make no bones about it, this day is also the time to learn about osteoporosis. Celebrate good health and educate yourself and others about the value of taking care of your body and protecting your bones and muscles from disabling and life-threatening fractures.
This medical condition is such that it makes a person’s bones weak enough to fracture at the slightest impact.
According to statistics, one in every three women over 50 years of age suffer an osteoporotic fracture. One in five men also face the same risk but only around 20 percent of osteoporosis patients are lucky to be diagnosed and treated.
