Therefore, we should pay close attention to the changes in our body and not ignore any discomfort. What exactly is related to the appearance of postmenopausal osteoporosis? Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease, and genetics, lifestyle, and nutrition are all related to its development. People with the following risk factors are more likely to develop postmenopausal osteoporosis: white and Asian women, family history of osteoporosis, or women with specific genes that affect bone mass, inadequate calcium intake, lack of physical activity, heavy smoking and alcohol consumption, early menopause or premenopausal bilateral oophorectomy.

It has been reported that more than 1/3 of the elderly aged ≥65 years fall each year, half of which are recurrent falls. Osteoporotic fractures in the elderly are more difficult to treat, and prolonged bed rest will result in slow blood flow and poor drainage of lung and airway secretions leading to cardiovascular disease and pulmonary infections, which will increase mortality in elderly patients. Therefore, to prevent the elderly from falling, we should pay extra attention to prevent the ground from splashing and slipping, the floor should not be too slippery, it is best to use carpet, the building lighting should be good, such as a hundred possible to use the tendon pads to reduce fractures.
