When a person has osteoporosis, their bones lose calcium and other minerals, which makes them more brittle and prone to shattering (breaking).
Because the hormonal changes associated with menopause exacerbate bone loss, women are more likely to have osteoporosis. In Australia, one-third of men and about half of all women over 60 have osteoporosis.
Regular exercise lowers the rate of bone loss and preserves bone tissue, reducing the likelihood of fractures.
The right types of exercises help to strengthen the muscles, which helps to improve balance and reduce the risk of falling.
