Osteoporosis often goes unnoticed until a small fall leads to a fracture. Osteoporosis means porous, weakened bones. It usually develops gradually, starting with reduced bone density known as osteopenia, and it is more commonly seen in women after menopause and in older adults. Long-term use of steroids and low calcium, whether from diet or poor absorption, can also weaken the bones. The biggest concern is that weak bones can break even from a minor fall. In this video, Dr. Prince Gupta, Consultant - Orthopaedics at Manipal Hospital Gurugram, explains what osteoporosis is, who may be at risk and why it is worth paying attention to bone health. If you are past menopause, have been on long-term steroids or have a family history of weak bones, speak to an orthopaedic specialist about whether a bone health check may be right for you.
