An important issue facing the medical community is the aging of the baby boomers and the illnesses and diseases that come with aging. Such large numbers of people hitting older age at the same time is going to overwhelm the medical and healthcare system. 
One way to help reduce the stress on the system is through preventative care. Just as we, the “ordinary” people are heading into older age and its associated aches and pains, celebrities are too and they are beginning to speak out.
One such celebrity, Sally Field, has been speaking out about osteoporosis for a while now. Although many people remember her as a young woman, Sally is now 61 years old. Being as tiny as she is, Sally is a prime candidate for osteoporosis and was diagnosed with it just before she turned 60.
Sally participated in a video to raise awareness on osteoporosis, which you can see by clicking on the TV screen below. The video explains osteoporosis and has a quiz that allows you to test your own osteoporosis knowledge.
