What causes can lead to osteoporosis?
There are many common factors that can lead to osteoporosis. First is age; as we get older, our bone density naturally decreases. Second is gender; women, especially after menopause, are more prone to osteoporosis. Family history also plays a role; if someone in your family has osteoporosis, your risk of developing it is higher. Additionally, lack of calcium and vitamin D, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and lack of exercise are common causes. Certain diseases and medications can also affect bone health. Maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle can help prevent osteoporosis.
