Bone Health
Only around 25% of people with osteoporosis have been diagnosed globally.
What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weaker and more fragile, increasing the risk of fractures. It develops silently over time and often has no symptoms – until a fracture occurs.
It is especially common in women after menopause, but men and younger individuals can be affected too.
Why Bone Health Matters
- Osteoporosis leads to millions of fractures worldwide each year.
- Many people are unaware they have the condition until they experience a broken bone.
- Early detection can help prevent fractures and maintain independence and quality of life.
What You Can Do to Prevent It
Maintain strong bones by focusing on:
- Calcium and Vitamin D: Through food, supplements, and safe sun exposure.
- Regular physical activity: Especially weight-bearing and balance exercises.
- Healthy habits: Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption.
Fall prevention: Take steps at home and outdoors to avoid injuries.
