Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Osteoporosis is primarily caused by factors such as aging, chronic illnesses, and lifestyle choices. To prevent this condition, it is recommended to engage in regular weight-bearing exercises, ensure adequate intake of calcium and Vitamin D through diet or supplements, and consider medications like bisphosphonates. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.
