Osteoporosis after 40
Osteoporosis may introduce a new subject into conversations about getting older, particularly for people who have not previously thought much about bone health. It can also bring questions about confidence, independence and future plans into focus.
There is no single way to feel about it. Some people want to discuss their experience openly, while others see it as a private part of life. This topic considers the personal side of osteoporosis after 40, beyond the label and assumptions about age or frailty.
