Osteoporosis Mitigation

Meaning

Osteoporosis Mitigation refers to the clinical and lifestyle strategies employed to reduce the risk, slow the progression, or lessen the severity of osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue. The primary goal is to maintain skeletal integrity and prevent fragility fractures, which are significant sources of morbidity and mortality, especially in post-menopausal women and aging men. This is a crucial component of preventative longevity medicine.
