Strategies to Minimize Effects of Osteoporosis

There are many health conditions that can pose a serious risk to the life of a person, especially to the elderly. The organism of the latter is weaker and, therefore, it is more susceptible to adverse effects. That is why chronic diseases may be particularly devastating for this part of the population. This paper will explore the community of Houston and examine different strategies to minimize the negative effects of osteoporosis.Strategies to Minimize Effects of Osteoporosis

To begin with, one should explain why this particular part of the population was chosen. One should keep in mind that osteoporosis is particularly damaging in the old age (Shi, 2012). Indeed, every fall can have negative consequences that might complicate the life of a person even further. All this leads to the understanding that the elderly with osteoporosis should be taken into consideration in the first place since the negative impact of this medical condition is amplified. Another point that should be mentioned is that Texas features a rather big population of the elderly. This means that there is a significant number of the seniors in each town and city, including Houston. It has already been established that the medical condition in question can have serious negative impact on the life of a person; so, there is a possibility that it will influence a large part of the population which means that a reasonable amount of attention should be devoted to it. Moreover, the group is question should be qualified as at-risk because elderly people often spend a lot of time alone. Obviously, there are those who live in nursing homes. However, the instances when the elderly live alone are also common. Needless to say without help after a fall, a senior will not be able to restore one’s well-being independently.
