I'm just want to know the real cause of osteoporosis and how to prevent it. My wife will be 50 come 2017 and some say that osteoporosis is actually feel at the age of early 40. My mother is 82 years old now but she does not have any sign of bone problem at her age. We all know that milk is the remedy against osteoporosis, my mother is seriously drinking milk when she was 70 years old. I'm concern with my wife because she stops drinking milk at the age of 16 and right now she refused to drink milk. I want to compare my wife with my mother, it's okay if my wife will start drinking milk at the age of 70 as long as she still slive at that age. What food can we eat aside from milk? How about the men, what is the percentage of having an osteoporosis, what age?

hi, if your problem is your wife not drinking milk and you fear that it might lead to osteoporosis later on in life, then the best solution would be to consult your doctor about what other dietary supplement she can take that has similar food value to milk or something that can prevent osteoporosis.
