Am I At Risk Of Osteoporosis?

Have you ever wondered if your bones are as strong as they should be? Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them more prone to fractures, especially in the hip, spine, and wrist. This silent disease develops gradually over the years, often without noticeable symptoms until a sudden injury leads to a broken bone. Factors such as increasing age, being female, low body weight, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, and a family history of fractures can significantly raise your risk. Additionally, a lack of calcium, vitamin D deficiency, and a sedentary lifestyle can contribute to bone thinning. But why wait for a fracture to find out if you're at risk? Understanding your bone health early can help you take proactive steps to prevent osteoporosis. Take this quick assessment to evaluate your osteoporosis risk level. If you're at higher risk, you can adopt preventive measures such as dietary changes, exercise, and lifestyle modifications to protect your bones and maintain strength as you age.
