Osteoporosis is a common but often overlooked condition that makes bones weak and prone to fractures. As people age, especially post-menopausal women, bone density gradually decreases. Preventive measures include consuming enough calcium and vitamin D, regular weight-bearing exercise, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol. If diagnosed with osteoporosis, doctors may recommend medications to strengthen bone density. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regular check-ups are key to preventing and managing osteoporosis.
