Osteoporosis Care

Osteoporosis is a medical condition that causes your bones to become weaker, more brittle, and more likely to fracture. It occurs when your body absorbs more bone than it makes. It is also caused by a lack of calcium and estrogen (female hormone).


What increases my risk for osteoporosis?

• Persons older than 35
• Low estrogen levels
• Women are more likely than men
• Use of alcohol, tobacco, or caffeine
• Lack of calcium and vitamin D in your foods
• Lack of exercise
• Some illnesses, such as thyroid diseases, bone cancer, and long-term lung diseases can bring on Osteoporosis
• Medicines, such as steroids, anticonvulsants, and blood-thinners can help cause Osteoporosis
