Osteoporosis Is Not Only for the Elderly: Recognize, Prevent, and Treat It Early

Dear PRAMITA Friends, osteoporosis is often called a silent killer because its symptoms are not visible until serious bone damage occurs. This condition makes bones weak and prone to fractures due to decreased bone density.

Although it is more common in older adults, especially postmenopausal women, an unhealthy lifestyle can also increase the risk. Lack of exercise, low calcium and vitamin D intake, smoking habits, and excessive alcohol consumption can all worsen bone health.

Prevention can be done by consuming a balanced, nutritious diet, exercising regularly, and undergoing routine health check-ups. PRAMITA is ready to assist you in the early detection of osteoporosis through accurate and reliable laboratory examinations.
