Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) is sometimes called a silent disease because bone loss can occur with no obvious symptoms. Many women do not find out they have postmenopausal osteoporosis until a sudden bump or fall causes a fracture, which can lead to limited mobility.
There are several risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing PMO. It's important to be proactive about preventing PMO.
Check each risk factor that applies to you from the list below. Then print out the checklist and bring it to your doctor to discuss your individual risk factors.
