Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 That's true Sue. We won't preserve 100% of our current bone mass, but we can lessen the rate of loss and don't have to lose 30%. We're going to lose mass as we age no matter what, as you say, but we can take measures to preserve as much as we can. My breasts will never be perky again either. And the butt..let's not even go there! Sigh..... Vicki A. > >> > We are at higher risk for osteo than normies.
