Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is weakened bone structure with high fracture risk—managed with density testing, nutrition, vitamin D, protein, and clinician-guided loading.
Osteoporosis is low bone mass and micro-architectural deterioration that raises fracture risk—often silent until a wrist, hip, or spine break. It differs from osteopenia (milder loss) and is diagnosed with bone density testing plus clinical history.
Calcium, vitamin D, protein, and appropriate loading slow decline; smoking, low energy availability, and glucocorticoids accelerate it.
Common questions
-
Can exercise reverse osteoporosis?
Loading and nutrition can improve density modestly and cut fall risk, but advanced disease needs medical therapy plus supervised exercise—not training alone.
