Osteoporosis is a painful disabling disease which causes bones to become brittle.
Like high blood pressure, it is called the silent killer. Unfortunately, when this occurs it may be too late and could become debilitating and disfiguring. The educated men and women of today need not suffer from osteoporosis. They know that they can make an informed and healthy choice about its prevention and treatment by lifestyle, diet, and drug therapy. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, one or every eight men over the age of 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture.
