So hip fracture is not just you're at risk for breaking a bone, so you have an operation, so then you die. Well, it's that you're at risk for breaking a bone. And if you don't die, then you're extremely unlikely to ever go back to the lifestyle that you want to enjoy. So it's not just about simple health and simply, oh, hey, we're going to help these people not break a bone. If we can help them not break a bone, then we can help them live longer, younger. Statistically, that's absolute. And then absolutely help them live better. So it's not just about. It's not just about the mortality.
