Osteoporosis and Bone Health

Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weakened bones, making them more prone to fractures. It results from a loss of bone density and minerals, particularly calcium. Common in aging populations, especially among postmenopausal women, osteoporosis underscores the importance of maintaining optimal bone health through a balanced diet, weight-bearing exercises, and, when necessary, medical interventions to prevent fractures and maintain skeletal integrity. Regular bone density assessments and lifestyle modifications play key roles in managing and preventing osteoporosis.
