Activity Description

The rate of bone loss increases as we age, which in turn increases our risk of fractures and osteoporosis. By playing "Os Costs ® : Banking on Healthy Bones," students will find that making good choices about bone health may significantly reduce the risk of osteoporosis. The goal is to obtain sufficient bone mass to build a reserve or "bone bank" of "osteocoins."
