OSTEOPOROSIS AND AGING:  WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

WHAT IS OSTEOPOROSIS

Osteoporosis is a silent disease where bones lose strength and are prone to fractures. Bone breakdown exceeds formation.

WHO IS AT RISK

Risk rises with age, especially in women after menopause. Family history, diet, and activity level also matter.

HOW BONES CHANGE WITH AGE

After 40, bones naturally lose density. Hormonal changes and lifestyle affect strength. Prevention matters early.

SIGNS OF WORSENING OSTEOPOROSIS

Look for height loss, stooped posture, back pain, and frequent fractures. Early detection is key.

MEDICAL TREATMENTS

Bisphosphonates, hormone therapy, and regular check-ups can slow bone loss and reduce fractures.

NATURAL APPROACHES

Eat calcium and vitamin D rich foods, exercise regularly, avoid smoking, and limit alcohol to strengthen bones.

EXERCISE FOR BONE STRENGTH

Weight-bearing and resistance exercises maintain bone strength. Balance training prevents falls and injuries.

LIFELONG BONE CARE

Managing osteoporosis is lifelong. Combine medical care, lifestyle changes, and regular bone checks to stay strong.
