More women die from osteoporotic fractures than from breast and ovarian cancer combined. According to Osteoporosis Canada, over 80 per cent of all fractures in people over age 50 are caused by osteoporosis. Unfortunately, once a fracture happens, this silent disease is often in the advanced stages. Prevention through a healthy lifestyle is possible and on this episode of the DocTalks podcast, host Ian Gillespie chats with Dr. Kristin Clemens an endocrinologist in the Osteoporosis and Bone Disease Program at St. Joseph’s Hospital about prevention, diagnosis and treatment options.
