Did you know that the decline in oestrogen during menopause can have a significant impact on bone health? After menopause, women can lose bone density more quickly, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures later in life.
That’s why we’re encouraging all members of the Menopaus’Hull community to take a few minutes to complete a free Bone Health Check. The Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation provides information, resources and tools to help people understand their bone health and identify potential risk factors for osteoporosis.
Why is bone health important during menopause?
- Falling oestrogen levels can accelerate bone loss.
- Osteoporosis often develops without symptoms until a fracture occurs.
- Understanding your risk early can help you take positive steps to protect your bones through nutrition, exercise and appropriate medical support.

Menopaus’Hull Tip: Alongside regular physical activity, ensuring adequate calcium and vitamin D intake can help support healthy bones throughout and beyond menopause.
