Nutrients and Dietary Patterns for Osteoporosis

Abstract

In order to reduce the risk of falls and fractures in older patients, promoting a healthy lifestyle and ensuring adequate calcium, vitamin D and protein intakes in their diet is of particular importance. When combined with regular exercise and avoiding bad habits such as alcohol and smoking, bone quality improves significantly.Osteoporosis treatment certainly includes the first line in the development and prevention of fractures in older adults, but diet optimization is an equally important component of treatment. This article presents results of the most relevant research to date on the characteristics of nutrition with a decrease in high bone density.
