33.6 million Americans (80% of whom are women) have osteopenia on bone density testing. This is a warning sign for future osteoporosis and fractures. Many women are Vitamin D deficient and/or not getting enough calcium in their diet. Supplementation of calcium with Vitamin D via diet or pills is necessary in all women. Exercise builds bone density so sedentary living is out!! You don't want the hump, to shrink or to break your hip do you?? Read about osteoporosis in our medical topics section. Get a bone density test done to see where you are at. Call our office if you are interested.
