A member asked:
What is osteoporosis risk at 80?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly high: Obviously, a person at age 80, will have the potential for bone loss and a higher risk for osteoporosis. All people at 80 do not have osteoporosis, but i would suggest obtaining a DEXA scan or bone denisty to see exactly what your bone density is.
