MAYBE MAYBE, IT IS GOING TO BE SO CLOSE.

How much attention are you paying to the health of your bones?

by the year 2020.

Americans' bad habits are taking a toll on their BONES.
(SOT/PATRICIA FILOCOMO )
"EVERYONE I KNOW WHO'S OVER 55 OR 60 HAVE IT."
Including Patricia Filocomo. IT is OSTEOPOROSIS... bone loss. And it's
costing americans 18 BILLION dollars a year.
(NAT POP ) "BOTH HIPS ARE REPLACED AND THAT'S THE ONLY THING SO FAR
(LAUGHS) HOPEFULLY THERE WON'T BE ANYTHING ELSE REPLACED!"
(TRACK)
Americans' bones are in a brittle state, according the surgeon general's
first ever close look at bone health. 34 million Americans are at risk
for osteoporosis. In another fifteen years, HALF of all Americans over
fifty will HAVE it.
(SOT DR RICHARD CARMONA/US SURGEON GENERAL )
"IT USED TO BE THOUGHT OF AS A NATURAL PART OF AGING, NOW WE KNOW THAT'S
NOT TRUE."
(TRACK)
Part of the problem... too many Americans are passing on dairy
products... like milk and yogurt... and the vegetable aisle... in favor
of the high-protein, low-carbohydrate craze. The result? Not enough
Calcium and Vitamin D.
Another problem... perception.
(KELLY COBIELLA )
"Osteoporosis is NOT just a woman't disease. And many men don't realize
it. The surgeon general's report found that for every man diagnosed
with osteoporosis, there are another FOUR who don't know they have it."
(SOT MITCHELL DRIMMER )
"I NEVER EVEN CONSIDERED THAT. I'M WORRIED ABOUT A HEART ATTACK, HIGH
CHOLESTEROL"
And it can strike both men and women EARLY. abby pealman was 47 when
she was diagnosed.
(Abby Pealman )
"I AWAYS THOUGHT THAT I WAS TOO YOUNG - I LOOKED HEALTHY - I FELT GOOD
AND I THOUGH THATIT COULD NEVER HAPPEN TO ME."
So how do you beat it? The Surgeon General says it's the same old
formula... a healthy, balanced diet and regular exercise. Kelly
