What I would recommend is frequent bone density scans so she can catch it if/when it starts in. There are new meds out on the market that can stop the progression of osteoporosis dead in it's tracks. Fosomax comes to mind....but if she is vigilant about the calcium (and magnesium and boron and Vit D) and exercise, especially strength training exercises she'll not have the problem to begin with. Good luck to her.................and BTW, she has a GREAT daughter to be so concerned about her!!!
