When it comes to fall prevention, we often focus on external fixes—like clearing walkways and installing handrails. But there's an internal factor that's just as important: bone health.
In this episode, I dive into how osteoporosis, often called a “silent threat,” impacts fall risks. We cover:
- The connection between osteoporosis and fall-related injuries
- The difference between osteoporosis and osteopenia
- Different ways to prevent bone loss—and how to fit prevention into your lifestyle as a busy family caregiver
Taking care of your bones is another way of taking care of the people you love. Tune in to learn practical ways to strengthen bone health and reduce fall risks.
