Oestrogen helps to maintain bone strength.
Menopause causes oestrogen levels to drop leading to increased bone loss and reduced bone density thereby making bones weaker and more likely to break (osteoporosis-related fractures).
Bone loss is most rapid in the first decade after menopause, then continues gradually throughout life.
Other risk factors for osteoporosis and fractures include:
*early menopause
*strong family history of osteoporosis
*certain medical conditions- Diabetes, Chronic kidney disease, Thyroid disease...
*taking medications that weaken bones- Steroids, Anti diabetic medication, antidepressants, Cancer treatments...
