What is osteoptosis?

Osteoptosis, often referred to as "bone loss" or "bone resorption," is a condition characterized by the excessive breakdown of bone tissue, leading to a decrease in bone density and strength. This process can result from various factors, including aging, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or certain medical conditions. Osteoptosis increases the risk of fractures and osteoporosis, making it important to monitor and manage bone health, particularly in at-risk populations. Treatments may involve lifestyle changes, medications, and dietary adjustments to strengthen bones and prevent further loss.
