Doctors have warned that bone health—one of the cornerstones of long-term well-being—is often overlooked until it is too late, stressing that bone density gradually starts to decline after the age of 30.
Experts explain that peak bone mass is usually reached in the late twenties. After that, bone loss begins to outpace bone formation, significantly increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Women are particularly vulnerable due to hormonal changes, genetics, and lifestyle factors.
The main risks include “early osteoporosis,” which develops without clear symptoms, and “advanced osteoporosis,” where bones become extremely fragile and prone to fractures—even from simple movements—especially in the hip and spine.
To minimize these risks, specialists recommend a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, regular weight-bearing exercise, quitting smoking, routine bone density screenings after age 30, and medical consultation regarding any medications that may harm bone health.
