National treasure and The Big O ambassador Ita Buttrose joins host John Deeks to explain osteoporosis, the risks, and the simple scan available to check your bone health.
Osteoporosis is a chronic condition that weakens bones over time, making them more likely to break.
It is often called the silent disease because there are usually no signs or pain until the first break.
Osteoporosis doesn’t just affect women – men can get it too. Two in three Australians over 50 are affected by osteoporosis. And 40 per cent of people over 70 have never had a bone density test.
