Text Article of the Week: Where "Wnt" The Bone! Resistance Exercise Prevents Bone Loss

Check out this weeks article titled "Where "Wnt" The Bone! Resistance Exercise Prevents Bone Loss" by Brandon Macias. "The estimated lifetime risks of an osteoporotic fracture are about 50% in women and 22% in men. Fractures in the elderly lead to large, often irreversible loss of quality of life and are associated with an increased risk of death. Furthermore, annual direct-care costs attributable to osteoporotic fractures are estimated to cost up to $18 billion in the United States. Most research to date has shown that regular weight bearing exercise helps preserve bone mineral density in postmenopausal women and older men."
