HAWKESBURY | The Lower Outaouais Fa m ily Health Tea m will present an infor- m ation session on “Healthy Bones” De- ce m ber 4 at 144 Main St. East, suite 201, Hawkesbury. To register for the session on osteoporosis, call 613 636-0971. “It’s never too late to start taking care of y our bones,” sa y s dietitian Julie Ladouceur. “Osteoporosis is a disease that graduall y develops with ti m e, with no signs or s ym p- to m s. The good news is that thanks to our LOFHT group session y ou’ll get tips and tools to take care of y our health. Further- m ore, y ou’ll have the chance to ask y our questions and discuss with a phar m acist, a health pro m oter and a dietitian.” Did y ou know that al m ost 90 per cent of Canadians aged 50 and older know about osteoporosis but onl y 24 per cent have spo- ken with a health professional about it, and onl y 30 per cent have been tested for the disease? Recent surve y s done b y Osteoporosis Canada reveal that respondents are aware that age, gender and lack of calciu m and vita m in D are risk factors for osteoporosis, a disease characterized b y low bone m ass and the breakdown of bone tissue, leading to bones that are easier to break. Osteoporosis affects m ore than 2 m illion Canadians including one out of ever y three wo m en and at least one out of ever y five m en aged 50 and older. In Ontario alone, there are 57,000 osteoporotic fractures in Ontario each y ear.
