Are You at Risk for Bone Loss? Signs You Shouldn't Ignore

Who’s Most at Risk?  

Bone loss can affect both men and women, but certain factors increase your risk:

• Age 50 or older

• Postmenopausal women

• Family history of osteoporosis

• Low calcium or vitamin D intake

• Sedentary lifestyle

• Long-term use of steroids or certain medications

• Smoking or excessive alcohol use

Early Signs You Shouldn't Ignore  

• Loss of height over time

• Stooped posture

• Bone fractures from minor falls

• Back pain or tenderness

• Weak grip strength

These subtle signs may point to osteopenia or osteoporosis, conditions that weaken bones and increase fracture risk.
