Preventing Osteoporosis

Arizona Department of Health for an osteoporosis program.
Working together to build strong bones for life.
Nearly one in two women over the age of 50 will have an osteoporosis fracture in her lifetime. 20-25 percent of people who break a hip do not live through the first year.
Osteoporosis is a serious disease that leads to a downward spiral in physical health and quality of life, including losing the ability to walk, stand up, or dress, and can lead to premature death. 10 million Americans over the age of 50 have osteoporosis, the most common bone disease, while another 34 million are at risk for developing osteoporosis. And each year, roughly 1.5 million people suffer a bone fracture related to osteoporosis. AZOC is working to prevent osteoporosis and educate Arizonans about their risks for fractures and osteoporosis.

This web-based tool allows you to determine your 10-year risk for fracture. It's free of charge and takes about a minute to enter age, bone mineral density (BMD), height and weight, and to click (yes/no) on 7 questions. The 10-Year Fracture Risk Calculator estimates 10-year fracture risk for postmenopausal women aged 45-85 years who are not receiving treatment for osteoporosis.
