Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by low bone density and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to increased bone fragility and a higher risk of fractures. It is often referred to as a “silent disease” because it progresses without symptoms until a fracture occurs.

The main factors contributing to the development of osteoporosis include:

1. Age: Bone density naturally decreases with age, and the risk of osteoporosis increases as you get older.
2. Gender: Women are at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis, especially after menopause. This is because the hormone estrogen, which helps maintain bone density, decreases significantly during menopause.
3. Hormonal factors: Conditions that affect hormone levels, such as early menopause, low estrogen in women, and low testosterone in men, can increase the risk of osteoporosis.
4. Family history: Having a family history of osteoporosis or fractures can increase your risk of developing the condition.
5. Lifestyle factors: Certain lifestyle choices can contribute to the development of osteoporosis, including a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, low calcium and vitamin D intake, and a diet lacking in nutrients essential for bone health.
6. Medical conditions and medications: Certain medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, and hormonal disorders, as well as long-term use of certain medications like corticosteroids, can increase the risk of osteoporosis.
