As a result, bones become more fragile and the risk of fractures increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20 October<\/strong>, <strong>World Osteoporosis Day<\/strong>, is an important opportunity to raise awareness about bone health. <strong>Osteoporosis<\/strong> can develop over many years without noticeable symptoms, while timely assessment can help prevent complications and preserve quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-ccb9936a\"><h4 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>What Is Osteoporosis?<\/strong><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Bones are living tissues that are constantly renewed. Throughout life, old bone tissue is broken down and replaced by new tissue. However, when bone loss exceeds the formation of new bone, bone density decreases. Over time, bones may become more fragile and more susceptible to fractures, even following a relatively minor injury or a fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Osteoporosis<\/strong> can affect both men and women, and the risk increases with age. In women, bone loss may accelerate after menopause due to hormonal changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-2a0c34be\"><h4 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>What Factors Increase the Risk?<\/strong><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The risk of developing osteoporosis is influenced by several factors, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Age<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Menopause<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A family history of osteoporosis or fractures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Previous fractures resulting from minor trauma<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low levels of physical activity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low body weight<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smoking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excessive alcohol consumption<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inadequate calcium and vitamin D intake<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certain medical conditions or medications that affect bone metabolism<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Having one or more risk factors does not necessarily mean that a person has osteoporosis.
