X-Health.show - meet the future of healthcare

You don't see your bones melting in a hot bath, so usually osteoporosis is diagnosed too late. 20% of people with an osteoporotic fracture will die within a year.

• 1 woman out of 2 will develop osteoporosis after menopause
• 1-2 men out of 5 will develop osteoporosis
• but more men die of the consequences of osteoporosis

Now, this can change. You may act against it earlier.
You’ll hear about

• til what age you build your bone mass
• what is osteoporosis and how to diagnose it
• how to predict osteoporotic fracture risk years before it happens
• to buy you time and prevent it
