Overview

Bone disorders such as osteoporosis and osteopenia weaken bones over time, increasing the risk of fractures. With early detection and the right combination of treatment and lifestyle change, bone strength can be protected and fracture risk significantly reduced.

Symptoms

  • Often no symptoms until a fracture occurs
  • Gradual height loss over time
  • A stooped posture over time

Causes & Risk Factors

Bone disorders are commonly linked to ageing, hormonal changes (such as menopause, thyroid or parathyroid disorders), vitamin D or calcium deficiency, a sedentary lifestyle, and certain medications.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis is confirmed through a bone density scan (DEXA), along with blood tests for calcium, vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (PTH) to identify any underlying contributing factors.

Treatment Options

Treatment is tailored to your bone density results and underlying causes, and may include:

  • Correcting calcium and vitamin D levels
  • Bone-strengthening medication when indicated
  • Weight-bearing exercise and fall-prevention guidance
