Are You at Risk? What to Know During National Osteoporosis Month

May is National Osteoporosis Month—a time to raise awareness about a silent but serious condition that affects millions. Osteoporosis weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures, often without any noticeable symptoms until an injury occurs. At Eastside Longevity Clinic, we believe early detection and prevention are key to long-term strength and independence.

Who’s at Risk?

While osteoporosis can affect anyone, certain groups are more vulnerable:

• Adults over 50

• Women after menopause

• People with low body weight or poor nutrition

• Individuals with a family history of osteoporosis

• Long-term use of certain medications (e.g., steroids)

Why Bone Health Matters

Fractures due to osteoporosis—especially in the hips or spine—can lead to serious complications like chronic pain, immobility, and even loss of independence.
