Understanding Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens bones, reducing their density and quality, which increases the risk of fractures in areas like the spine, wrists, hips, and more. Known as “the silent disease,” it often shows no symptoms until a bone breaks. In South Africa, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men are at risk, with bone loss potentially starting as early as age 25.
