Bones & Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones lose calcium and other minerals, become fragile and tend to fracture more easily. In Australia, osteoporosis affects one in two females and one in three males over the age of 60.

Having calcium-rich foods daily, throughout life can help lower your risk of osteoporosis:
Dairy foods are the richest source of calcium in the Australian diet. 3 serves of dairy foods every day will ensure most people receive their recommended daily intake of calcium plus significant amounts of other bone strengthening nutrients.

Refer to Dairy Australia’s Osteoporosis fact sheet for further information.
