Frequently Asked Questions
What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become weak and brittle, so they break more easily than healthy bone. It develops when the body loses old bone faster than it makes new bone, which lowers bone density over time.
Why is osteoporosis called a silent disease?
There are often no symptoms in the early stages of bone loss, so many people do not know they have osteoporosis until a bone breaks. This is why it is sometimes described as silent, and why identifying it early matters.
Who is most at risk of osteoporosis?
The risk rises with age and is higher in women after menopause, in people with a family history of osteoporosis or hip fractures, and in those with a small body frame or low calcium intake. Smoking, heavy alcohol use, and some medications can also increase the risk.
How is osteoporosis diagnosed?
Osteoporosis is usually diagnosed with a bone density scan, most often a DEXA scan, which is a quick, painless test that measures bone mineral density, commonly at the hip and spine. The result helps show whether bone density is normal, low, or in the osteoporosis range.
Can osteoporosis be prevented or treated?
Steps such as enough calcium and vitamin D, weight-bearing and strength exercise, and avoiding smoking and excess alcohol help protect bone. When treatment is needed, medications that slow bone loss or help build bone are used, guided by a specialist.
