• Stooped posture: A hunched posture can develop as the spine weakens and collapses.  
• Frequent fractures, especially of the hip, wrist, or spine.  

Treatment and Prognosis: While there’s no cure for osteoporosis, treatment can help slow bone loss, strengthen bones, and reduce the risk of fractures. Treatment options include:  

• Medications: Medications like bisphosphonates, denosumab, and teriparatide can help slow bone loss and increase bone density.  
• Lifestyle Modifications:
  • Diet: A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D is essential for bone health.  
  • Exercise: Regular weight-bearing exercises, such as walking, jogging, or weightlifting, can help strengthen bones.  
  • Fall Prevention: Taking precautions to prevent falls, such as removing tripping hazards and using assistive devices, can reduce the risk of fractures.  

The prognosis for individuals with osteoporosis varies depending on the severity of the condition and the effectiveness of treatment. While there is no cure, with proper management, many people with osteoporosis can live active and healthy lives. However, severe cases can lead to significant disability and a reduced quality of life.
