There is a global epidemic of poor bone health and osteoporosis.
Everyone, at every age, should think about their bone health.
1 in 2 women
and 1 in 4 men
50+ years old will break a bone due to osteoporosis.¹
1.5 million fractures
in the spine occur every year in the U.S., which can lead to early death.²
~10 million Americans
have osteoporosis and another 44 million have low bone density, placing them at increased risk.³
