Risk factors — family history of fracture
Has a parent fractured a hip?
If your biological mother or father has fractured a hip, you have a statistically
higher risk of experiencing a fracture yourself.
Obviously there’s nothing you can do about your family history of fracture.
But consider it encouragement to prioritize your bone health, and learn from your
family member’s experience.
Every individual has a unique bone burden, and the factors that caused your parent’s
fracture may not apply to you, or may not cause you to fracture also. Take heart
in knowing that your genetic makeup is not your destiny, and there are plenty of
opportunities for you to start taking control of your bone health.
We’ve been very successful in helping women prevent fractures, even with a
family history of hip fracture. The Personal Program is an at-home version of our
approach.
