There is a concerning trend of early-onset bone problems among young women, particularly those in their 20s, 30s, and early 40s. Once seen as a post-menopausal issue, osteoporosis and vitamin D deficiency are now being detected much earlier, a sign that women’s bone health needs urgent attention.
Bone health should be a priority for working women as sedentary jobs, poor sunlight exposure, stress, and irregular eating habits have become major risk factors. Many women also skip routine check-ups, ignoring symptoms until fractures or chronic pain appear. So, women should take charge of their well-being and follow the advise given by the doctor.
Currently, working women not only face issues such as stress, weight gain, high blood pressure, diabetes but even bone problems.
