Overview

Osteoporosis diet and nutrition concerns the role of dietary intake in building, maintaining, and protecting bone, and in preventing and managing osteoporosis, a condition marked by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration that increases fracture risk. Bone is a dynamic tissue continually remodeled by formation and resorption, and several nutrients are central to this balance. Calcium provides the principal mineral component of the skeleton, vitamin D enables its absorption and supports bone-cell function, and adequate protein contributes to bone matrix and the preservation of bone and muscle with age. Other micronutrients and dietary factors, including magnesium, vitamin K, and overall dietary pattern, also influence bone health, as do energy balance and body composition. Nutritional strategies emphasize sufficient intake across the life course to optimize peak bone mass in youth and limit bone loss in later life, complemented by physical activity. Public-health and behavioral dimensions include the sources and effectiveness of nutrition education in shaping knowledge and calcium intake, particularly among women at elevated risk. Functional foods, nutraceuticals, and targeted supplementation are studied for their potential to support skeletal health. Sub-areas span calcium and vitamin D nutrition, protein and micronutrient requirements, dietary patterns, and nutrition education, providing an evidence base for diet-centered prevention of osteoporotic fracture.
