A member asked:
What is the impact of osteoporosis on the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis can lead to fractures in the spine or the hip, and in the forearm if you trip and break a bone. If you are age 60-65 and have not had a fracture please have a bone density test. Once that is done properly your doctor will tell you if you need medication or not.
