Osteoporosis is a disease where increased bone weakness increases the risk of a broken bone. Women tend to have smaller, thinner bones than men. Estrogen, a hormone in women that protects bones, decreases sharply when women reach menopause, which can cause bone loss. A diet low in calcium and other bone-boosting nutrients can also contribute to low bone density. This is why the chance of developing osteoporosis increases as women reach menopause.

Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium and build it into the bones. Most adults don’t have enough vitamin D in their bodies. Older men and women probably should take vitamin D supplements. Apart from this, exercises aimed at increasing muscle strength, combined with weight-bearing aerobic physical activity, help to prevent bone loss as we age.
