Juvenile Osteoporosis

Juvenile osteoporosis is a condition where children and teenagers have lower bone density than normal, making their bones weaker and more prone to fractures. While osteoporosis is often associated with older adults, it can also affect young people due to various reasons, such as certain medical conditions, lack of physical activity, poor nutrition, or hormonal imbalances. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to help strengthen bones, which may include changes in diet, exercise, and sometimes medication, to prevent long-term complications as they grow.
