Osteoporosis Assessment

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by excessive loss of bone mass and changes in bone tissue that compromise bone quality and strength. With osteoporosis, bones become fragile and prone to fracture.

Our Self-Assessment is an indicator of your risk for developing osteoporosis. Simply choose YES or NO for each risk factor in the assessment below, then click on 'Calculate Score' for an automated total. Compare your personal score with the chart at the bottom of the questionnaire to discover the Action Steps that may help you prevent this invisible disease.
