Age, hormonal imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies like low calcium and vitamin D contribute to its development. Often asymptomatic, diagnosis typically involves bone density scans. Nutrition significantly influences bone health; calcium and vitamin D are essential, while excessive alcohol and caffeine can impede calcium absorption. Symptoms include back pain and bone fragility, with severe untreated cases leading to mobility issues. Recovery focuses on dietary enhancement and physical activity, emphasizing weight-bearing exercises. Prevention involves regular bone density tests, a calcium-rich diet, avoiding smoking, and monitoring symptoms. Medications or surgery may be necessary if lifestyle adjustments fail or fractures occur. Physical therapy aids recovery by improving strength and balance, crucial for reducing fall risks. Early diagnosis and intervention are vital to mitigating osteoporosis
