Did You Know?

If you have asthma, you are at higher risk for osteoporosis. This is because common asthma drugs called glucocorticoids can decrease the amount of calcium your body absorbs from food and affect bone health, the National Institute on Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases says. These medications also interfere with the production of sex hormones, which also can affect bone health, and cause muscle weakness, which can raise the risk for falls.
