Section 22-13A-2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds all of the following: (1)
Osteoporosis, a bone-thinning disease, is a major public health problem that poses a threat
to the health and quality of life to as many as 25 million Americans. (2) The 1.5 million
fractures each year that result from osteoporosis cause pain, disability, immobility and social
isolation, affecting quality of life and threatening the ability of people to live independently.
(3) Because osteoporosis progresses silently and without sensation over many years, and many
cases remain undiagnosed, the first symptom of the disease is often a fracture, typically
of the hip, spine, or wrist. (4) One of two women and one of five men will suffer an osteoporotic
fracture in their lifetime. (5) A woman's risk of hip fracture is equal to her combined risk
of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. (6) The annual direct and indirect costs of osteoporosis
to the health care system are estimated to be as high as...
