Osteoporosis is a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile due to decreased bone mass and bone mineral density, leading to frequent fragility fractures. Worldwide, one in three women over the age of 50 is at risk of developing osteoporosis. It could be due to hormonal changes or a lack of calcium and vitamin D. Along with increased incidences of fractures in older, postmenopausal women, osteoporosis may often lead to mobility loss and perhaps morbidity and death. A major reason for developing this disease and the associated bone loss in women is estrogen deficiency. Other important risk factors are genetics, advanced age, being underweight, smoking, alcohol abuse, etc. Ample intake of protein, calcium, and vitamin D may help prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis without pharmacologic means. Doctors also suggest regular physical activity and avoiding smoking and alcohol consumption to lower the risk. For premenopausal women (women naturally approaching menopause) and those with low bone density and other risk factors, estrogen and drugs are recommended for improved bone density and strength.
