Ask the Physician > What's My Risk for Osteoporosis
The following link is the new World Health Organization's risk assessment tool for osteoporosis. You will need to know your height in centimeters (cm) and your weight in kilograms. We have provided some conversions for your convenience. Link to www.shef.ac.uk/FRAX to assess your risk. For more information on osteoporosis including recommendations on nutrition and supplements to prevent the disease as well as medications to treat it look in the osteoporosis section of our website.
