Description
In the United States, there are 10 million women with OSTEOPOROSIS and 43 million women with OSTEOPENIA. Most of these women have no idea that they are at risk for a potentially life-changing or even fatal fracture. One reason for this lack of concern and lack of awareness is that osteoporosis is usually a “silent disease”. Today, I am going to break that silence. My guest is Dr. Kristi Tough DeSapri, an internist with a specialty and expertise in women’s bone health.
This topic is in 2 parts. This episode will focus on WHY YOU SHOULD CARE about bone health, RISK FACTORS for osteoporosis, and SCREENING RECOMMENDATIONS. Episode 61, Part 2 will focus on prevention and treatment.
We discuss:
Why there is so little awareness of osteoporosis
The consequences of osteoporosis
Symptoms and early warning signs of bone loss
The difference between osteopenia and osteoporosis
How common osteoporosis is
When someone should get their first screening
Risk factors for osteoporosis
Why women are more likely to get osteoporosis than men
