World Menopause Day: Why women in menopause are more prone to Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis affects many elderly, especially postmenopausal women, leading to significant bone loss. In India, over 61 million suffer, 80% being women. Decreased estrogen during menopause significantly contributes. Regular exercise, calcium and vitamin D intake, and medications like bisphosphonates can help manage the condition. Early diagnosis via BMD scans is crucial for effective treatment.
