(Washington, DC) – The National
Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF), has
launched a Spanish language section of
its Web site. In order to better
meet the needs of the growing Latino
population in the United States, NOF now offers Spanish

accurate a information on osteoporosis
and bone health for
Spanish-speaking audiences is more

National Osteoporosis Foundation is the
nation’s leading voluntary health
organization solely dedicated to
