Aging is the one process, we as humankind have no control on and aging brings along many health issues as well. Our body weakens gradually and becomes vulnerable to diseases, illnesses, and health conditions. Depending upon the body type and lifestyle, it varies. Osteoporosis is one such condition which is very common amongst women in India. Particularly, after menopause when bones start turning weak and start losing density through vitamin D, Calcium, and Mineral loss.
The condition when bones become extremely porous, fragile, and are subject to fractures easily, is known as osteoporosis. There is a certain imbalance between the old and new bones in this condition. Though Osteoporosis is more prevalent in elderly people, it is more common in women than men. The reason is that the hormone called estrogen is responsible for maintaining bone density in women. After menopause, estrogen levels drop considerably in women and thus decrease the bone density as well.
Over 25 million people in India are known to suffer from this condition and the sad part is there are no specific symptoms other than pain or disability for early detection of the condition.
• Risk Factors of Osteoporosis
• Old Age is a major risk factor
• Genetic influence
• Small body frames and thin people
• Women post menopause
• Poor diet habits
• Addictions like alcohol, smoking, and more
• High dosage of drugs, medicine, and steroids
