An estimated thirty-six billion people in India are living with osteoporosis. But most people do not pay attention to it until a fracture occurs.

Bones keep on changing all through life. Every day some new bone is formed in our body and some old bone is broken. During childhood and adolescence, more bone is formed in the body than broken bone, which increases the size, density, and strength of the bone structure. In most people, bone mass is highest in the twentieth year. This change occurs at the age of 35 to 40 years.
It is during that time when the process of breaking bones in the body is more than it is formed. A decrease in bone mass of bones means that its density decreases, due to which the bones start to weaken. This is the cause of the gradual weakening of bones that when severe, can lead to osteoporosis. However, by making the right lifestyle changes, steps can be taken to reduce your risk of bone loss and osteoporosis.
