Tertiary prevention: For patients with degenerative osteoporosis, we should actively carry out drug treatment such as inhibiting bone absorption (estrogen, CT, Ca), promoting bone formation (active Vit D), bone peptide tablets, etc. We should also strengthen measures such as fall prevention, bump prevention, trip prevention, and bump prevention.

Four levels of prevention: we advocate calcium supplementation from young age, balanced diet, more exercise, to ensure about 15 minutes a day in the sun to get the most natural source of calcium, and to have a scientific understanding of osteoporosis.
