Schimbarea stilului de viaţă încetineşte osteoporoza. Endocrinolog: „Recomand femeilor aflate la menopauză să facă neapărat testul DXA”

Menopause triggers a degenerative process in women, leading to health issues like osteoporosis, which often goes unnoticed. Dr. Adriana Gruia emphasizes the importance of early testing, particularly the DXA scan, to measure bone density. Osteoporosis can develop silently, increasing fracture risk, especially in postmenopausal women. Lifestyle factors such as poor diet and lack of exercise also contribute to this condition. Regular DXA tests are recommended for women at menopause and those with risk factors. Preventive measures include a calcium-rich diet, exercise, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
