Make bone health a family affair...
Don’t wait for a fall and fracture to start talking about it!
Peak bone density is reached in your 20s and early 30s, making it the perfect benchmark for long-term health.
Mothers, daughters and even grandchildren, can take a shared proactive approach to protecting their mobility together.
Families can become custodians of each other’s health by...
Getting scanned together for younger generations to know their baseline peak bone density in their 20s/30s while older generations check their current levels.
Watch for early indicators of bone loss such as family members’ height loss or changes in posture.
Encourage joint activity, supporting each other to stay active, keep moving, and prioritising weight-bearing exercises.
We are social creatures, so make taking care of your loved ones part of your regular family routine!
