What Is Decreased Bone Density?

Feeling a little fragile lately? Your bone density may be to blame! 🦴 But what exactly does that mean? Let's dive in!

Q: What is bone density? A: Bone density refers to how thick and strong your bones are. Think of it like this - some people have dense bones that are tough as nails, while others have bones that are more porous and prone to breaks or fractures.

Q: What causes decreased bone density? A: There are a few main culprits behind decreased bone density:

  1. Osteoporosis - This condition causes your bones to become weak and brittle over time.
  2. Age - As we get older, our bones naturally start to lose density. Ugh, getting old is rough!
  3. Hormones - Low levels of hormones like estrogen can contribute to bone loss. "My hormones are all out of whack!" - we've all been there!

Q: Why is decreased bone density a concern? A: Decreased bone density puts you at a higher risk for fractures, breaks, and injuries. As the old saying goes, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." It's important to take steps to maintain strong, healthy bones.
