Although #fracture risk is often lower in #osteopenic women than in those with #osteoporosis, their greater number means that most fractures occur in osteopenic individuals thelancet.com/journals/landi…

ALT (A) Fracture rate (for wrist, forearm, rib, spine, and hip) and number of women with fractures in relation to BMD in the National Osteoporosis Risk Assessment study. BMD distribution is also shown. This analysis included 149 524 White, postmenopausal, women from the USA aged 50–104 years followed up for 12 months. Based on data reproduced from Siris et al,7 by permission of the American Medical Association. (B) The relationship between hip BMD T-core and hip fracture probability in Swedish women according to age. For any given T-score, the risk is higher with increasing age.

My grandma who suffered from osteoporotic fractures passed away last month. Osteoporosis is a silent killer, often unnoticed until fracture occurs.
Today is #WorldOsteoporosisDay, so let's:
📢 Spread awareness
🩺 Encourage BMD checks
🔬 Support research to fight this disease
