Not if you take care of yourself. Osteoporosis
("brittle bone disease") is a threat to most
British women as they get older. That's why so
many old ladies are bent over, since the bones
in their spines have collapsed. But you can prevent
this happening to you by avoiding alcohol and
smoking, taking plenty of exercise and making
sure you get the recommended daily amounts of
calcium and vitamin D. For more information,
visit the National Osteoporosis Society's
website: www.nos.org.uk
