Learn how to detect it early and protect your bone health

Osteoporosis is often called the “silent disease” because it weakens your bones without any obvious symptoms — until a fracture occurs. It’s more common than you might think, especially among older adults, and early prevention is key.

🦴 What Is Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become thin, weak, and more likely to break. It usually affects the spine, hips, and wrists.
As we age, our bones naturally lose density. But with osteoporosis, this process happens faster and more severely.

🔍 How Is It Diagnosed?

The most common way to diagnose osteoporosis is through a bone density test, also known as a DXA scan.
This test measures how strong your bones are — particularly in the spine and hips.

• T-score ≥ -1.0 → Normal
• T-score between -1.0 and -2.5 → Low bone density (osteopenia)
• T-score ≤ -2.5 → Osteoporosis

💊 Treatment Options

There are several medications that can help prevent further bone loss and even build new bone:

• Bisphosphonates (e.g., Alendronate, Risedronate) – help slow bone loss
• Parathyroid hormone treatments – promote bone formation
• Denosumab – a twice-a-year injection to strengthen bones
• Calcium and Vitamin D – essential supplements for healthy bones

Always follow your doctor’s instructions and take medications exactly as prescribed.
