Synopsis

PREVIEW
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that develops when bone mineral density and bone mass decreases, or when the quality or structure of bone changes. This can lead to a decrease in bone strength that can increase the risk of fractures (broken bones).
Osteoporosis is a “silent” disease because you typically do not have symptoms, and you may not even know you have the disease until you break a bone. Osteoporosis is the major cause of fractures in postmenopausal women and in older men. Fractures can occur in any bone but happen most often in bones of the hip, vertebrae in the spine, and wrist.
However, you can take steps to help prevent the disease and fractures by:
Staying physically active by participating in weight-bearing exercises such as walking.
Drinking alcohol in moderation.
Quitting smoking, or not starting if you don’t smoke.
Taking your medications, if prescribed, which can help prevent fractures in people who have osteoporosis.
Eating a nutritious diet rich in calcium and vitamin D to help maintain good bone health.
