Seniors' Care at NYGH: Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a brittle bone disease that is the leading cause of hip fractures in older adults. Monica Lee, Pharmacy Practitioner at NYGH, says men over the age of 50 and women post-menopause are at greater risk of osteoporosis. With early diagnosis, interventions and an assessment for falls you can reduce the risk of fractures, so you can continue to live a safe and active life. Learn more: www.nygh.on.ca/seniorcare
