Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is the gradual thinning of bone, leaving the skeleton more fragile and prone to fractures from falls or even minor knocks. It builds up silently over years, often without any signs until a wrist, hip or spine bone breaks. Women after menopause are most affected, though men and older adults face rising risk as populations age.

Key points

  • The skeleton weakens quietly across years, and a broken wrist, hip or spine is often the first noticeable sign.
  • Risk climbs sharply for women once menopause has passed, and increases more gradually for men and older adults in general.
  • One class of medicine slows the breakdown of existing bone, while sufficient calcium and vitamin D give the skeleton what it needs to rebuild.
  • Carrying weight through the bones during exercise, along with quitting smoking and cutting back on alcohol, supports bone strength.

How osteoporosis is treated

Treatment aims to slow bone loss, keep existing bone strong and cut the chance of a fracture. Bisphosphonates such as alendronic acid are a common starting point, working to reduce the rate at which bone is broken down. For women after menopause, raloxifene offers another route by mimicking some of the bone-protective effects of oestrogen. Adequate calcium and vitamin D underpin any treatment, since bone cannot rebuild without the raw materials. You can see the full range on our bone health page.

Protecting your bones

Daily habits make a real difference. Weight-bearing exercise like walking, stair climbing or resistance work signals the body to maintain bone. A diet with enough calcium and protein helps, and sensible sun exposure supports vitamin D, which can run low among office workers in hot climates who stay indoors. Stopping smoking and limiting alcohol both ease the strain on bone. Because osteoporosis weighs heavily on women, especially after menopause, our women’s health section covers related concerns. If you have had a fracture from a minor fall, or notice height loss or a stooping posture, speak to a doctor about a bone density check.
