Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weakened bones that are more susceptible to fractures and breaks. Osteoporosis care involves a combination of preventive measures, diagnostic evaluations, and treatment strategies to manage and improve bone health. The primary test for diagnosing osteoporosis by measuring bone mineral density (BMD). X-rays or other imaging techniques to evaluate bone structure and detect fractures. Drugs that slow bone loss and increase bone density, such as alendronate, risedronate, and zoledronic acid. Estrogen or combination therapy to manage osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal women. Medications like teriparatide and abaloparatide that stimulate new bone formation. Recommendations for a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D to support bone health. Strategies to reduce the risk of falls, including home safety modifications and balance training.
