A member asked:

My calcium bloods last 2years usually come back at 2.0 (ref 2.2-2.6) my doc wasnt worried, now my osteoprosis is worse. could she have prevented this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diet and exercise: weight bearing exercise or lifting weights prevents osteoporosis. Consuming foods high in calcium and proper sun light also helps.
