Once again a guest on the television program Uno Mattina, in the episode of 01.24.2024, Dr. Maria Luisa Brandi, Endocrinologist and President of the Italian Foundation for Research on Bone Diseases (FIRMO), who explained with her usual clarity, how insidious osteoporosis is, a disease that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures. Osteoporosis is caused by an alteration of normal bone remodeling and leads to a loss of bone mass and density. This disease is often silent, because it does not give symptoms until a fracture occurs and, for this reason, it is important to prevent it and diagnose it early, with a clinical evaluation and bone densitometry. Osteoporosis is a serious disease, but it is avoidable. With an early diagnosis, adequate therapy, and a healthy lifestyle, you can combat bone loss and protect your bones.
