Several factors can contribute to low bone density, including:
Age: Bone density decreases naturally as people age. Gender: Women are at higher risk, particularly postmenopausal women due to decreased estrogen levels. Genetics: A family history of osteoporosis can increase the risk. Diet: Low intake of calcium and vitamin D can weaken bones. Physical Activity: Sedentary lifestyle can contribute to bone loss. Medications: Long-term use of steroids and other medications can affect bone health. Smoking and Alcohol: Both are detrimental to bone health.
