As we mark World Osteoporosis Day on October 20, the National Osteoporosis Foundation of South Africa is advocating for better approaches to diagnosing and treating osteoporosis patients.While it is not always easy to avoid bone density loss, the good news is that early diagnosis and a good treatment plan can prevent about 70% of osteoporotic fractures, helping patients to live longer, better, more fulfilling lives.
