Osteoporosis Risk Factors & Osteoporosis DNA Analysis
CyGene can help determine Osteoporosis Genetic Predisposition & Risk Factors of Osteoporosis Early

Does your DNA put you at increased risk for osteoporosis? Osteoporosis is a debilitating disease that causes bones to become fragile and more likely to break. If not prevented, or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. Over 28 million Americans suffer increased risk of bone fracture due to osteoporosis, yet according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, the disease is one of the most preventable and treatable conditions with today's medical knowledge. Do you have the information you need to prevent osteoporosis?

Why testing for osteoporosis is important:

• One out of two women and one in eight men over age 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime
• 10% of African-American women over age 50 have osteoporosis; and additional 30% have low bone density that puts them at risk of developing osteoporosis.
• Significant risk has been reported in people of all ethnic backgrounds
• Osteoporosis can strike anyone, at any age
• Osteoporosis is responsible for 1.5 million bone fractures annually, most commonly in the hip, vertebrae and wrist.

A personalized genetics report, particularly one performed early in your lifetime, can help you minimize your risk of osteoporosis by identifying your genetic osteoporosis risk factors and giving you the opportunity to take control of your health and future. The CyGene Osteoporosis DNA Analysis is the perfect tool for examining your bone health genetics and determining if you have an increased risk factors of osteoporosis. Taking action early gives you the tools and the time necessary to protect yourself against painful bone fractures caused by osteoporosis.
