| Abstract | 1 in 2 females will develop postmenopausal osteoporosis. However, a prevalent gap in clinical information exists within patients and susceptible younger women. This poses as a significant factor of fractures, depression, and mortality—all of which are mitigable through lifestyle modifications. Our project's foremost priority is to ensure women are given the resources they deserve for proactive disease management, and to highlight the lack thereof. |
