Osteoporosis: Preventative Steps from Age 30

Osteoporosis develops gradually and asymptomatically, making prevention crucial, ideally starting from the age of 30.

Peak bone density is achieved up to 30-35 years of age, after which bone loss increases. Adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D, regular weight-bearing exercise, and avoidance of smoking, excessive caffeine, and alcohol are essential.

Bone density measurement (DEXA) is an important preventative tool, especially in cases of family history.
