Preventing Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis makes bones weak, thin, and more likely to fracture, especially in the hips, spine, and wrists. Women face increased risk after menopause as estrogen levels decline. Prevention focuses on adequate calcium and vitamin D, regular weight-bearing and strength exercises, staying physically active, avoiding tobacco, limiting alcohol, and reducing fall risks. A balanced diet and timely bone health assessment can help protect bone strength and support healthy aging.
