This analysis is the result of FORE s nationally-recognized Community Awareness Bone Density Testing Program. FORE has had a longstanding interest in bringing the benefits of bone density testing to under-served and therefore less understood populations. Further research in this area is underway. In observance of Osteoporosis Aware- ness Month in May, FORE s Board is presenting a luncheon at the Oakland Museum of California on May 11th. It will include an Asian fusion cooking demonstration by chef Rhoda Yee that addresses calcium sources in your diet.

This act would promote public awareness of osteoporosis including options for prevention, the value of early detection, and the advancement of possible treatments. Fortunately, there was a great deal of support for the measure, but as sometimes happens, it takes more than one attempt to get legislation passed. Accordingly, this year the bill has been reintroduced by Assembly Member Alquist as AB 161. FORE has been asked to sponsor this bill due to the importance we place on osteoporosis education and prevention, as well as in recognition of the leadership role FORE has taken in the field.
