Older adults, particularly postmenopausal women, are more at risk for developing osteoporosis. This condition is characterized by decreased bone density and increases the likelihood of fractures. Hormonal changes, particularly a reduction in estrogen, significantly contribute to bone density loss in women. Additionally, factors such as low calcium and vitamin D intake, sedentary lifestyle, and genetics may further elevate risk. Therefore, understanding these factors is crucial for implementing preventative measures through nutrition and exercise promotion.
