Osteoporosis Causes & Risk Factors

Family History

Bone health would be strongly inherited. Therefore, having a sibling or parent with osteoporosis would put you at a higher risk of developing this condition in the future. This is particularly true when your father or mother fractured a hip. It is necessary to note whether any family member has even been diagnosed with this health issue. Early detection of typical symptoms, such as quickly lost height or bone pain, can help you get proper treatments and prevent further complications in the future.[9]
