What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weak, fragile, and more likely to break. It develops when bone density decreases, making bones less strong over time.
Early diagnosis, healthy nutrition, proper calcium and vitamin D intake, and medical treatment can help maintain bone strength and reduce fracture risk.
Causes of Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis may occur due to aging, hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiency, or certain medical conditions.
- Calcium and vitamin D deficiency
- Hormonal imbalance
- Menopause and aging
- Lack of physical activity
- Long-term steroid use
Common Symptoms
Osteoporosis often develops silently and may not show symptoms until a fracture occurs.
- Back pain
- Weak and fragile bones
- Frequent fractures
- Loss of height over time
- Poor posture
Why Bone Health is Important
Strong bones are essential for mobility, balance, posture, and maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle.
Osteoporosis Management
