October is #Menopause Awareness Month, an important reminder that menopause is more than hot flashes—it’s also a turning point for long-term health. The drop in estrogen accelerates bone loss, putting women at higher risk for osteoporosis, a disease that leads to weakened bones and fractures. Nearly 1 in 2 women over 50 will experience an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime. Awareness matters because prevention is possible.
