Abstract
- This article discusses the topic of osteoporosis and explores strategies for preventing and managing the condition. Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone density and increased bone fragility, leading to an increased risk of fractures. Factors that contribute to optimal bone health include exercise, maintaining a normal body weight, and ensuring adequate intake of nutrients like calcium and vitamin D. Medications may be necessary to improve bone density and reduce fracture risk, such as bisphosphonates and denosumab, which reduce bone resorption, or bone anabolics like teriparatide and romosozumab, which increase bone formation. The article also highlights the importance of lifestyle modifications and individualized treatment plans based on fracture risk assessment. [Extracted from the article]
