The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the National Osteoporosis Society, which is the only UK national charity dedicated to eradicating the consequences of undiagnosed and untreated osteoporosis, on its work; calls on MSPs to help to encourage everyone they meet to keep good bone health by doing some weight-bearing exercise and remaining active; asks everyone to afford themselves the opportunity of bone-density screening where available, especially if they know that they could be at risk, and encourages everyone to adopt a healthy eating and drinking lifestyle by enjoying a wide variety of food to ensure a mix of necessary vitamins and minerals to influence the 20% of bone health that is not genetically inherited.
