Stay Away from Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis… The Silent Threat

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bone mass decreases, causing bones to become thin, fragile, and more likely to fracture. It is especially common in older adults and often shows no symptoms in the early stages, which is why it is known as a “silent threat.”

🔎 Causes of Osteoporosis

• Genetics

Family history may play a role, especially among close relatives such as grandparents.

• Aging

As people age, body cells gradually deteriorate, including bone-forming cells.

• Lack of Nutrients for Bone Formation

Insufficient intake of protein, calcium, and vitamin D can weaken bones.

• Hormonal Changes

A decline in important hormones, especially during menopause, can increase bone loss.

• Lifestyle Habits

Sitting or remaining inactive for long periods may accelerate bone deterioration.
