If you are a woman over 25, it's time to protect yourself from osteoporosis.
After the age of thirty-five, there is a normal deterioration of bones in all individuals, due to biological changes in the body. However, in many people, this deterioration occurs at a much faster rate. This is the pathological condition called osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis affects both women and men, but women are more susceptible, especially after menopause. The skeleton becomes so porous that it fractures in the wrists, hips, and spine, causing severe pain. Over time, a curvature in the back develops and a loss of bone mass of up to 30% occurs (meaning a woman with a height of 1.65 becomes 1.15). Bone fractures often cause serious disability, which is the third leading cause of death, according to osteopathologists.
