Get the Facts

Let's talk...

It's a fact, one in two women and up to one in four men over age 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis. But, for the first time, we have an opportunity to join together to better treat and ultimately prevent this debilitating disease.

Through the Generations of Strength initiative, we are encouraging men and women like you to join us in starting conversations about bone health and family health history with the people in your life. Working together, we can raise awareness and the much needed funds to support those living with osteoporosis and protect future generations from the disease.

Join the conversation by taking time to understand your personal risk factors and talking with those you love about what you can do to prevent osteoporosis and protect against broken bones.  Together we can dispel the myths and raise awareness for osteoporosis as a serious condition that impacts more women than all types of cancer combined.
