Approximately 200 million women around the world suffer from osteoporosis, and the condition causes nearly 9 million fractures a year. In women 45 and up, osteoporosis-related injuries account for more days spent in the hospital than most other conditions and diseases. Studies have found that a lot of women are hesitant to discuss osteoporosis with their doctor, or get tested for it, which makes the condition even more prevalent. If you’re a woman, denying that osteoporosis could affect you is not an option. If you have already been diagnosed with the condition, it’s important to stay away from certain foods and activities that can make osteoporosis worse.
