Unlocking the Secrets of Bone Health with Claire Gill (Ep. 12)
Have you heard stories about the frailty of age and the risk of breaking bones? Did you know that osteoporosis contributes to 2 million broken bones and 19 billion related costs each year?
By 2025, it is anticipated that this will rise to 3 million fractures and 25 billion in costs annually.
