Podcast: Ita Buttrose urges older Aussies to take bone health seriously

National treasure and The Big O ambassador Ita Buttrose joins host John Deeks to explain osteoporosis, the risks, and the simple scan available to check your bone health.

Osteoporosis is a chronic condition that weakens bones over time, making them more likely to break.

It is often called the silent disease because there are usually no signs or pain until the first break.
