Welcome to the Younger People’s Network (under 50s)
This is a space for people under 50 to connect and share experiences of being diagnosed, and living with osteoporosis or osteopenia at a younger age. You’re not on your own — here, you can talk with others who understand the questions, challenges, and emotions that can come with it.
Why not start by saying hello and sharing a little about your story — what’s it been like living with osteoporosis at a younger age?
Do you have any questions for other younger people?
Want to find out more?
We have a #BoneMatters video about osteoporosis in younger people.
We also have a helpline of specialist osteoporosis nurses who can chat through your situation: Free osteoporosis Helpline
