Decreased bone density

What is decreased bone density?

Decreased bone density, also known as osteopenia or osteoporosis, is a medical condition characterized by porous and brittle bones that are more susceptible to fractures. This happens when the body removes more bone tissue than it replaces over time.

Some key points about decreased bone density:

• It often develops slowly and without symptoms initially, so many people don't know they have it until a fracture occurs or a bone density test detects low bone mass.


• Loss of estrogen in women after menopause and low testosterone in men are major risk factors. Getting adequate calcium, vitamin D, and doing weight-bearing exercises help maintain strong bones.

"As we get older, our risk of decreased bone density increases. But with proactive steps, we can keep our bones healthier for longer."

• Treatments for decreased bone density aim to strengthen bones and reduce fracture risks. They include medications like bisphosphonates, improving nutrition, doing weight-bearing and resistance exercises, stopping smoking, and avoiding excessive alcohol.
