Are You at Risk for a Bone Fracture?

Fractures aren’t only caused by falls — they can happen silently in people with low bone density, chronic conditions, or poor lifestyle habits. In this episode, we break down what increases your fracture risk and how to take control before it becomes a problem.

We cover:

• The FRAX survey and how to use it 📊
• Health conditions that raise risk (osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes) 🦴
• Habits that weaken bones (smoking, alcohol, low calcium, inactivity) 🚬🥤
• How diet, exercise, and medical tests can lower risk ✅
• When to get a bone density scan 🩻
• Warning signs you may already be high risk ⚠️

Fractures can be painful, life-changing, and even deadly in older adults — but most are preventable. Learn the science, take the survey, and get proactive about your bone health.
