Do's and Dont's in osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by weakened bones that are more susceptible to fractures.
• Common among older adults, especially postmenopausal women, osteoporosis occurs as bone mineral density (BMD) declines, resulting in bones that can fracture with minor falls or even routine activities.
• Fracture sites include the spine, hips, and wrists, which can cause significant disability if untreated.
• Recognizing osteoporosis as more than an inevitable part of aging is crucial since proper care and management can slow or prevent its progression.
