Risk Factors:

The women with the highest risk factor for osteoporosis are usually white or asian and are small and thin. Other risk factors include:
�
�

a family history of osteoporosis
having an early or surgically induced (both ovaries removed) menopause before the age of 45
being a post menopausal woman
being physically inactive
smoking cigarettes or having an excessive alcohol intake
a diet habit that is low in calcium sources
those individuals who must take high doses of cortisone-like drugs (therapies used in asthma, arthritis, or cancer) or taking high doses of thyroid medication
�
�

If you fall into any of the above risk factors and you are in your forties, discuss your risks with your physician. Your physician may want a test called a bone-density measurement. This "baseline" measurement is useful later when it is compared to tests performed later in life to determine the density loss in the bone.
