ABOUT THE SESSION
Why bone health is the #1 dealbreaker in female longevity
4 OCT · Vision Stage · 14:25
Women lose bone fast in the years around menopause, and most only find out when they break something. One in three Danish women over 50 will get osteoporosis, and a hip fracture later in life can end years of independent living.
So is bone health really the dealbreaker in female longevity? Hormone specialist Dr. Marie Foegh, gynaecologist and iron researcher Prof. Christian Breymann and OsteoStrong Denmark co-founder Rasmus Just take on the question. They'll get into what menopause does to your bones, where hormone therapy stands today, whether you can still build bone after 50 and what the Danish healthcare system misses.
You'll leave knowing what to ask your doctor, and when to ask it.
