Bone health is often overlooked until a fracture occurs. But osteoporosis — weak and fragile bones — can be prevented with timely screening and treatment.
Why It Matters
Osteoporosis affects both men and women, though women post-menopause are at higher risk. Endocrine factors such as thyroid disease, adrenal disorders, or diabetes can increase the risk.
Signs & Risk Factors
- Frequent fractures or bone breaks
- Family history of osteoporosis
- Early menopause
- Long-term use of steroids
- Sedentary lifestyle
Prevention & Management
- Adequate calcium and Vitamin D intake
- Weight-bearing exercises (walking, strength training)
- Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol
- Regular bone density scans for at-risk individuals
