Not everyone who has low bone mass will develop osteoporosis, everyone with a low bone mass is at a higher risk for the diseases and the resulting fractures.

You can take steps to slow down your bone loss and prevent osteoporosis in your future.

Your doctor will want you to develop, or keep, healthy habits such as eating foods high in calcium and Vitamin D, doing weight bearing exercise like walking, jogging or dancing.

Please talk to an instructor for further recommendations.
