Good to the Bone

Did you know?

• Fragility fractures result from low energy trauma, such as a fall from standing height or less. They are a common sign of underlying osteoporosis. 
• One fragility fracture puts you at high risk of experiencing secondary fractures, especially in the first two years following the initial fracture. 
• Hip fractures are the most serious type of fracture. Less than half of survivors regain their previous level of function.
• Prevention is key! Eating a well-balanced diet and exercising will go a long way to improving bone and abdominal core health.
