Did you know menopause can have a significant impact on your bone health?

The drop in oestrogen during and after menopause can accelerate bone loss, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

Understanding the link between menopause and bone health is an important step towards protecting your bones and supporting your long-term health.

That’s why we’ve teamed up with Menopause Mandate this World Menopause Day to raise awareness of the important connection between menopause and osteoporosis - because bone health deserves to be part of the conversation.

Did one of your parents have osteoporosis or break a hip?

Osteoporosis can run in families. If one of your parents had osteoporosis or broke a hip after a minor fall, your own risk may be higher.

Knowing your family history is one more way to understand your bone health - and if you're concerned, it's worth speaking to your healthcare professional.
