Spreading the word

When Bone Health for Life was being developed interviews and discussions with the Jean Hailes Foundation Women's Reference Group and the South East Osteoporosis Support Group revealed a simple but important message:

Members of both groups were keen to encourage young women to invest in their health early and be aware that building bone mass in your teens and twenties can have such an important influence on health and quality of life thirty years later.

If these women could have done one thing differently it was to understand the importance of a calcium-rich diet and weight-bearing exercise to their bones earlier in life.
