10.22376/ijpbs.2019.10.1.p1-12 Volume 1 Issue 3 2010 (July - September) Osteoporosis is a disease of bone resulting from a reduction in bone mineral density leading to increased risk of fracture. The incidence of the disease is increasing day by day due to altered lifestyle, improper diet, medications, genetic factors, some secondary causes. The objective of this study is to inform people and professionals about osteoporosis and provide a broad idea about the condition, its prevention strategies, and treatment recommendations. This review covers a combination of all aspects from an osteoporosis point of view that were missed by some articles. Most of the review studies focus on epidemiology and management of the disease but rarely on the financial burden of disease, so by proper awareness about the disease and its management, the burden of the disease and its ill effects can be reduced. The article concludes that the emerging rise of osteoporosis and economical burden can be controlled by administering a healthy diet, lifestyle modifications, proper exercise, adequate mineral supply, by maintaining adequate calcium and vitamin D levels, reducing bone stress, prohibiting addictions and unnecessary utilization of drugs, salt restriction, caffeine regulation and minimizing frequent fall and thus can restrict the risk of fracture in the patients. Osteoporosis can be treated by the drugs enhancing bone formation process by osteoblasts and restricting resorption by inhibiting osteoclasts. The study suggests the need for awareness among people about osteoporosis and strategies to overcome it as well as the further need for clinical studies on the topic for better outcomes and minimizing complications.
