Tricia was first diagnosed with osteopenia in a medical study and later followed closely as her condition progressed to osteoporosis. As a registered dietitian, she emphasizes the importance of a healthy lifestyle and nutrition in managing bone health, though she recognizes it's not the only factor. While osteoporosis hasn't significantly impacted her quality of life, she's become more cautious and hopes to help her two daughters, who are around the age when many women enter menopause, lower their fracture risk. Tricia's story highlights that regardless of your bone density, prevention and fracture awareness are key.

Silvia le diagnosticaron osteopenia en 2018, a los 63 años, después de compartir con su médico sus antecedentes familiares de osteoporosis. Desde entonces, se ha centrado en cuidarse mejor, incorporando más alimentos ricos en calcio, suplementos de vitamina D y ejercicio diario, como caminar y entrenamiento de fuerza con bandas y pesas. Después de cuatro años de medicación, los valores de densidad ósea de Silvia mejoraron, lo que le permitió tomarse un descanso de la medicación. Alienta a todos, especialmente a las mujeres de baja estatura, que son más susceptibles, a priorizar la salud ósea, hacerse pruebas y tomar medidas temprano. https://lnkd.in/e2HPjRwG #40FacesOfOsteoporosis #BoneHealth #OsteoporosisAwareness
