Bone Mineral Density Support refers to clinical strategies and interventions aimed at optimizing the structural integrity and mineral content of skeletal tissue, assessed typically via DEXA scanning, to prevent osteopenia or osteoporosis. This is crucial for long-term structural health and fracture prevention.
Origin
The term originates from the fields of orthopedics and endocrinology, where maintaining adequate bone mass is recognized as a key determinant of skeletal health across the lifespan, particularly post-menopause.
Mechanism
Support mechanisms often involve optimizing calcium and Vitamin D homeostasis through supplementation or sunlight exposure. Furthermore, ensuring sufficient sex hormone levels, which inhibit osteoclast activity, and stimulating osteoblast function for bone matrix deposition are essential components.
