❗️ Join us in bringing attention to and promoting awareness about Osteoporosis!
🦴What is Osteoporosis? - It’s a condition marked by diminished bone mass and the degeneration of bone tissue. Essentially, it involves the loss of vital bone minerals, leading to a compromise in bone structure. This elevates the risk of fractures, most frequently occurring in the hip, spine, wrist, and shoulder.
🦴More commonly observed in individuals aged 50 and above (with higher occurrences in menopausal and post-menopausal women), the deterioration process initiates many years before an actual fracture transpires. This means that by the time a bone breaks, the disease has advanced significantly, often with minimal preceding warning signs.
🦴Osteoporotic fractures are more prevalent than heart attacks, strokes, and breast cancer combined. However, preventive measures can be adopted from early childhood: embracing a diet conducive to bone health and engaging in weight-bearing + strengthening exercises can aid in achieving the highest possible peak-bone mass. Accumulating more bone mass in our formative years translates to a diminished risk as we age.
🦴Furthermore, sustaining a healthy body weight, refraining from smoking and excessive drinking, and staying active as we age can all contribute to mitigation!
