The ACA said that even those with severe osteoporosis who have suffered fractures would benefit from tai chi exercise. "Osteoporosis is a chronic, progressive condition that steals bone from the body, leading to fractures of the hip, spine and wrist" said ACA national spokesperson, Dr. Jerome McAndrews. "Older people can suffer disability and even death from osteoporosis related fractures." The ACA says that an estimated 20 million American women suffer from osteoporosis and 80 % of them don't even know it.
