Medicul Marius Sava, dezvăluiri despre boala ”tăcută” a oaselor. Motivul pentru care osteoporoza este mai frecventă la femei

Osteoporosis is a silent disease that weakens bones over time without clear symptoms, often discovered only after a minor fracture. It affects both men and women, especially as they age, with women being more vulnerable post-menopause due to decreased estrogen levels. Risk factors include age, vitamin D deficiency, smoking, and low body weight. Prevention involves regular exercise, a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol. Early detection through DEXA scans is crucial for effective intervention before severe bone loss occurs.
