Bone Density Preservation

Meaning

Bone Density Preservation is the clinical strategy focused on maintaining the structural integrity and mineral content of skeletal tissue throughout the lifespan, thereby preventing conditions like osteopenia and osteoporosis. This is a critical component of longevity and wellness, directly impacting mobility, fracture risk, and overall quality of life. The endocrine system plays a central role in this process, as hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, and parathyroid hormone tightly regulate bone remodeling dynamics. Clinical management involves monitoring bone mineral density using quantitative methods like DEXA scans.
