Osteopenia Defense

Meaning

Osteopenia Defense is the proactive and therapeutic strategy focused on preventing the progressive loss of bone mineral density, a condition known as osteopenia, from advancing to the more severe state of osteoporosis. This defense is intrinsically linked to hormonal balance, as sex steroids, particularly estrogen and testosterone, are primary regulators of bone remodeling and maintenance. A comprehensive defense strategy integrates targeted nutritional support, specific resistance training, and, critically, the optimization of key endocrine factors like Vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and sex hormone levels. The goal is to maintain skeletal integrity and prevent fragility fractures.
