Women have been led to believe that osteoporosis and bone fractures are caused by risk factors beyond their control, like menopause, aging or family history. But happily, only about 20% of your bone health is determined by fixed factors. The rest is well within your control.

This is great news, because it means that all women can improve their bone health without drugs. You do this by changing the things you can change, which will dial down your risk.

The following assessment will help you identify the factors impacting your bone health and risk of fracture – especially the factors you can change. After you submit your answers you’ll have instant access to your bone health profile, plus recommendations for improving your bone health.
