NIH Offers Interactive Osteoporosis Screening and Advice

Knowing your risk factors is an important step in taking an active role to promote stronger bones for life. The National Institute of Health (NIH) recently launched its interactive osteoporosis screening and advice tool, "Check up on Your Bones". The "Check up on Your Bones" starts with a personal profile questionnaire, provides results of your bone checkup, and gives you a bone balance sheet describing actions you can take for stronger bones.
