Does psoriasis affect bone health? What can be done to slow down bone loss?

Psoriasis not only affects the skin but can also impact bone health, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. To slow down bone loss, patients can take the following measures: 1. Eat a balanced diet with adequate calcium and vitamin D; 2. Engage in regular moderate exercise, such as walking or yoga, to strengthen bones; 3. Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, as these habits can accelerate bone loss; 4. Take medications or supplements as recommended by a doctor to help maintain bone health. Regular bone density tests are also important for monitoring bone health.
