Modifiable Risk Factors in the Prevention of Osteoporosis 

# data[].attributes.body
I would first discuss diet with Janie as preventative measure for osteoporosis. I would want to provide information regarding healthy foods high in calcium including oranges, milk, and cheese and foods high in vitamin D such as salmon and fortified cereals. I could also suggest supplemental products if the patient doesn’t like those foods. Letting the patient know that calcium helps us maintain the strength of our bones and vitamin D helps absorb the calcium. Encouraging Janie to increase fruits, vegetables, and foods high in calcium and vitamin D will help to prevent osteoporosis.

My next recommendation would be to quit smoking and let Janie know that smoking affects the body’s ability to absorb calcium. Offering many options for smoking cessation such as Chantix, Wellbutrin, Nicotrol, or nicotine gum, patches, and lozenges could make this an easier transition for the patient along with providing information for online support groups.

Lastly, I would educate the patient regarding an active lifestyle and encourage exercise. Currently, Janie leads a sedentary lifestyle which puts her at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis. By suggesting Janie to work out 3-5 times a week for roughly 30 minutes can build bone mass and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Helping Janie quit smoking, changing her diet, and adding exercise to her day would be extremely beneficial to Janie’s health not only when it comes to osteoporosis prevention but also beneficial for many other body systems.
