    Summary

    Osteoporosis is a common women's health issue, with 50% of women over 65 experiencing low bone density. Prevention through diet, exercise, and avoiding risk factors is key for bone health.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Endocrinology
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Osteoporosis is a prevalent skeletal disorder, particularly affecting postmenopausal women.
    • Over 50% of women aged 65 and older exhibit bone mineral density below the fracture threshold.
    • Accelerated bone loss is linked to hormonal deficiencies, poor nutrition, inactivity, smoking, and endocrine disorders.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the risk factors, consequences, and preventive strategies for osteoporosis in women.
    • To highlight the significance of early detection and intervention for managing osteoporosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of osteoporosis risk factors, clinical manifestations, and treatment options.
    • Analysis of epidemiological data on osteoporosis prevalence in aging populations.

    Main Results:

    • Osteoporotic fractures, including hip, vertebral, and radius fractures, are significantly more common in affected individuals.
    • Vertebral compression fractures lead to chronic pain and spinal deformities.
    • Risk factors include gonadal hormone deficiency, inadequate nutrition, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, and endocrinopathies.

    Conclusions:

    • Prevention is the most effective approach to managing osteoporosis.
    • Recommendations include adequate calcium intake, regular exercise, and limiting protein and phosphorus consumption.
    • Fluoride therapy shows potential but requires further investigation for osteoporosis treatment.
