"Nurturing Wellness: The Path to Postmenopausal Osteoporosis Awareness" is a compassionate guide dedicated to empowering women to take control of their bone health beyond menopause

Key points to be noted are:

o Menopause is a universal and natural event in women's life.

o Menopause is inevitable but we can make it easy and equally beautiful by understanding it.

o Osteoporosis is not a terminal illness and does not itself directly influence life expectancy. However, having a fracture which is obvious even with a lesser trauma (as the bones become fragile), can definitely affect it.

o Somewhere between the ages of 25 and 35, the rate of bone breakdown will eventually outweigh the rate of bone formation. Bone loss begins to happen at an approximate rate of 0.25% a year and is variable depending upon genetic and environmental factors. This can be attributed as a part of ageing process in both genders.

o But menopause significantly speeds up bone loss and increases the risk of osteoporosis. Maximum bone loss occurs between 3-5 years after menopause and after that it slows down. Approximately 1 in 10 women over the age of 60 are affected by osteoporosis worldwide.
