By 2020 50% of all Americans over 50 will have weak bones*

 1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men over the age of 50 will experience osteoporotic fractures*

 Hip fractures cause the most morbidity with reported mortality rates up to 20-24% in the first year*

 Loss of function and independence is profound, 40% unable to walk independently, 60% requiring assistance a year later*

 Because of these losses, 33% are totally dependent or in a nursing home in the year following a hip fracture*
