ARLINGTON, Va., April 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- April is National Minority Health Month and the National Osteoporosis Foundation wants to continue its contribution to bridging the gap in health disparity by providing awareness and education materials to our underserved minority audiences. This initiative is part of the NOF commitment that started a few years back with the creation of our Spanish language website https://huesosanos.org.
NOF created a guide to diagnosis to osteoporosis and osteopenia because developing osteoporosis is not a normal part of aging. It is critical to realize that strong, dense bones are built early in life. Understanding this is vital to preventing fractures as we age. Bone mass, density and strength are impacted tremendously by lifestyle factors, including a healthy diet and exercise. Understanding bone health is crucial for preventing this serious chronic disease.
