Make the Connection to Own the Bone

If you’re over 50 and have had a fracture caused by a fall from standing height or lower, you need to take steps to reduce your risk of another fracture.

Fragility fractures happen to people with poor bone health. In fact, 44 million Americans have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and that number is growing. The number of fragility fractures is also increasing and the US Surgeon General is concerned.

Fortunately, help is available through your health care provider and educational programs like Own the Bone.

Patients describe how living with osteoporosis has affected their life.
