Overview

Osteoporosis is a bone disorder that results in the bones becoming weak and brittle, making them more prone to fractures. It is especially common in post-menopausal women due to a decrease in estrogen production. The loss of bone density, caused by the condition, increases the risk of fractures at even low levels of impact. As such, osteoporosis is a serious health issue that can lead to long term disability. Fortunately, there are steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of developing and suffering from osteoporosis. These include getting adequate daily exercise, and ensuring a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, and reducing excessive alcohol consumption can also help. Medical treatments are available to help strengthen bones, and in some cases, prevent fractures. In conclusion, osteoporosis is a serious condition that can lead to long term disability. By understanding the risk factors for the condition, and by following a healthy lifestyle, it is possible to reduce the risk of developing and suffering from osteoporosis.
