Welcome to the Osteoporosis Know Your Risk series, brought to you by the Washington Osteoporosis Coalition and Patient Power. Osteoporosis, a condition in which the bones become weak and can easily break, is a major public health threat for an estimated 44 million Americans. Washington State has been identified as a particularly at-risk state, with a projected 60 percent increase in osteoporosis predicted by 2020. Our series will address:

  • What is osteoporosis?
  • Who is most at risk? Who does it affect besides older women?
  • What is the cost of osteoporosis to our healthcare system?
  • How do you get tested and why is it important?
  • How can diet and exercise lower your risk?
  • What are the latest treatments and research?
  • What other diseases can go along with osteoporosis?
  • Where can you find more information and resources?

Get answers to all these questions, and ones you submit. Our programs will feature leading medical experts, including rheumatologists, endocrinologists, general practitioners and radiologists, as well as inspiring people who are proactive about fighting osteoporosis.
