Is Osteoporosis is inevitable
While getting older is the strongest risk factor for osteoporosis, many elderly individuals never develop the disorder.
Dietary or supplemental calcium, vitamin D, exercise and good genes probably play a role.
Avoiding risk factors is also important. Besides age, risk factors include:
Being a postmenopausal woman or a man over age 70
Being bedridden
Having low body weight
Smoking
Having low testosterone (in men)
Taking certain medications (such as corticosteroids, anti-estrogen drugs, or some anti-seizure medicines)
Having certain medical conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease, or an eating disorder
Being Caucasian (as compared with African American)
Missing menstrual periods
Having alcoholism
Having a family history of osteoporosis
Having a low intake of calcium
