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

Menopause triggers a degenerative process in women, increasing the risk of osteoporosis due to hormonal imbalances. Endocrinologist Dr. Adriana Gruia emphasizes the importance of DXA testing for bone density, especially for women in perimenopause and menopause. Osteoporosis, characterized by low bone density, can lead to fractures and significantly impact quality of life. Lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet rich in calcium and regular exercise, are crucial for prevention. The DXA test is a quick, non-invasive method to assess bone health, and its results guide treatment and lifestyle adjustments. Men should also consider testing if they have risk factors.
