Global Impact of Low Bone Density: Prevent Fractures & Costs

Low bone mineral density (BMD) significantly increases the risk of fractures, leading to substantial health burdens worldwide, especially among aging populations and postmenopausal women. Since low BMD is a modifiable risk factor, maintaining bone health through lifestyle measures such as adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, regular weight-bearing exercise, and fall prevention can reduce fracture risk and associated complications. Awareness and early intervention targeting bone density can help lower morbidity and healthcare costs related to osteoporosis and fractures globally.
