Overview
Methods to prevent osteoporosis include changes of lifestyle. However, there are medications that can be used for prevention as well.
Primary prevention
Lifestyle
Lifestyle prevention of osteoporosis is in many aspects inversions from potentially modifiable risk factors.
- Exercise - achieving a higher peak bone mass through exercise and proper nutrition during adolescence is important for the prevention of osteoporosis. Exercise and nutrition throughout the rest of the life delays bone degeneration.
- Nutrition - a proper nutrition is a diet sufficient in calcium and vitamin D. Patients at risk for osteoporosis (e.g. steroiduse) are generally treated with vitamin D and calcium supplements. In renal disease, more active forms of Vitamin D such as paracalcitol or (1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol or calcitriol which is the main biologically active form of vitamin D) is used, as the kidney cannot adequately generate calcitriol from calcidiol (25-hydroxycholecalciferol) which is the storage form of vitamin D.
- Quiting tobacco smoking
- Drinking alcohol in moderation
