Where is osteoporosis commonly found in the elderly

The areas where osteoporosis in the elderly produces painful symptoms are usually in the lower back, that is, the thoracolumbar section of the spine, followed by the knees, wrists, and shoulders, which are the areas with heavier loads and more joint activities, and are the most prone to osteoporosis symptoms, the places where osteoporosis is most likely to occur, and the areas where osteoporotic fractures are particularly likely to occur. The symptoms of osteoporosis in these areas are generally dominated by soreness and pain, which will gradually increase with time under heavy load or increased exercise. After osteoporosis occurs in these areas, the brittleness of the bone increases, which can easily lead to fracture. Therefore, these areas should usually be protected during the winter months in the elderly to avoid the risk of fragility fractures.
