Does having a chronic lung disease increase my risk of osteoporosis?

Yes. Smoking in general raises the risk of developing osteoporosis. Some medications like prednisone and other cortisone drugs that are used to treat chronic lung diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema can increase the risk of osteoporosis when taken long-term.

Remove what risk factors you can, and get a bone-density test to assess your bone strength so you can take the steps needed for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
