According to the estimates announced during the World Osteoporosis Day, a bone fracture occurs in the world every 3 seconds. These mainly depend on the fragility affecting the areas most at risk, such as wrists, vertebrae and femur. Furthermore, it is not a simple matter of age, because the data confirm that the problem could come well in advance. In terms of women’s health, for example, it emerges that a quarter of women in the world population suffer, in total, 25,000 fractures every day.
