About osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a widespread disease. For women, the risk increases with the onset of menopause; more than half of all women over 50 suffer from it. Men are also affected.

Symptoms
The disease is also called "the silent thief of the bone", because symptoms are not noticeable for a long time. Osteoporosis often remains undetected until a fracture draws attention.

Early detection & diagnosis
Early diagnosis makes it possible to take countermeasures in time - before the bones break. During therapy, success can be measured promptly and adjusted if necessary.

Treatment options
Osteoporosis therapy depends on the stage of the disease: In a very early stage, a healthy diet with sufficient vitamin D and calcium in combination with regular exercise is often sufficient.
