Osteoporosis: Women Take Charge

T
wo years ago, a group of women narbonnaises have created the French Association for the Fight against osteoporosis (AFLO). A disease that affects mainly women and whose governments give the impression of neglect.

Staves by this impression while insisting that their approach is not the "suffragettes", members of the AFLO have set two goals :
  • arouse the attention of women, exposing them to the danger of this disease "silent" as osteoporosis and answers that specialists can offer them
  • intervene with the government to become aware of the importance of the problem, and urgent decisions

More precisely, they want to be taken into account the prevention of osteoporosis and its screening by the osteodensitometrie. It is today the only consideration that would diagnose the disease.

The association is assumed that this support would be less costly for social security, that fractures and care they require. She quickly found its first members, which surprise anyone.
