Fragility fractures is estimated to cost the national health service around €17 million, so the work of a team of researchers to discover genetic risk factors that lead to osteoporosis, which targets more women than men, is tackled in tomorrow’s issue of Pink.

Out with The Sunday Times of Malta, the leading women’s magazine meets the female researchers, who are trying to unravel the root causes of this silent condition, so those with a genetic predisposition to osteoporosis can have tailor-made treatments.

Health dominates the February issue, with a focus on raunchy subjects from the pros, cons and implications of female Viagra to the rise in popularity of cosmetic surgery in private parts.

With Valentine’s Day round the corner, softer love also takes centre stage, with a look at the role of matchmakers today and the success stories of modern-day Cupids, while soul mates and teenage romance are also discussed.

Those who pick up their copy of the Sunday newspaper tomorrow will not only find Pink magazine, but also a sample of Versace Eros Pour Femme perfume to try out in the run-up to Valentine’s Day.

Pink is a monthly magazine, produced and published by Allied Newspapers Ltd and printed at Progress Press.
