You mentioned "fatal for some."  From what I understand, it is fatal for a large percentage - I think about 20% or more.

Dear Hapsters,



I have been asked to present a session on bone health, with an emphasis on osteoporosis, at an ElderWeek Conference.



If any of you would be kind enough to share your favorite website(s) or other information with me on this topic, I would be most grateful.



I think I will give my session a title of   “Your Bones, Your Health and Your Life,”  realizing how bone health, and especially osteoporosis, can be debilitating, if not fatal for some.



Have a great weekend and thanks,



Marilyn L. Shaver
