American Bone Health recently launched a Bone Health Quiz to help consumers younger than age 45 understand their risk factors for osteoporosis and broken bones. The online tool serves as a companion to the long-running American Bone Health Fracture Risk Calculator™, a validated risk assessment tool for users ages 45 and older. After completing the Bone Health Quiz, users are encouraged to begin a discussion with their health care providers about creating a bone health plan.
The Bone Health Quiz consists of 15 questions about specific risk factors. As users answer each question, explanatory text provides additional information about the topic. If their response indicates a risk factor, it is flagged to appear in red type. Users can opt in to receive a PDF of their responses and additional information from American Bone Health.
The Bone Health Quiz is being offered at in-person community events, including Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and MORE THAN PINK Walk events in select cities. It is also available on the American Bone Health website.
