According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, 1 in 3 women over 50 and 1 in 5 men will experience a fracture due to Osteoporosis in their lifetime.

Every fracture is not just an accident — it’s a warning sign. The good news? Osteoporosis is controllable and manageable with early diagnosis, lifestyle changes, and regular health checks.
