Decreased bone density

What is decreased bone density?

Decreased bone density, also known as osteopenia or osteoporosis, occurs when the struts and plates that make up bone tissue become thinner and the spaces between them grow wider. This causes the bones to become less dense and more porous.

Some key things to know about decreased bone density:

• It often develops without symptoms, so many people don't know they have it until they break a bone


• It can lead to fractures and broken bones from minor bumps or falls that normally wouldn't cause such injuries


• It's very common, affecting over 200 million people worldwide


• Certain factors increase your risk, like being female, having a small/thin body frame, family history, smoking, excess alcohol, etc.

If you're concerned about osteoporosis or bone health, consider contacting the caring professionals at Hormone Revive. Their individualized hormone treatment plans help support strong, resilient bones regardless of age or gender.

Some key steps you can take to prevent and manage decreased bone density:

• Get enough calcium and vitamin D


• Do weight-bearing exercises like walking, jogging, tennis


• Avoid smoking and limit alcohol


• Have a diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables


• Take medications if prescribed - these can strengthen bones

The best way to keep your bones strong and prevent bone density loss is to make bone-healthy lifestyle choices. Small tweaks like taking stairs instead of elevators and eating yogurt can make a difference! Getting enough vitamin D and doing even light exercise goes a long way too.
