lifestyle
2

Sun exposure for vitamin D synthesis

Controlled sun exposure stimulates endogenous vitamin D production, which is essential for calcium absorption and bone mineralization. Moderate, regular exposure is recommended.

lifestyle
3

Bone-healthy Mediterranean diet pattern

Adopting a Mediterranean-style diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and olive oil provides multiple nutrients supporting bone health while reducing inflammation.

dietary

Additional treatment options

Fall risk assessment and home modification

Comprehensive evaluation of living environment and personal fall risk factors, followed by modifications such as grab bars, improved lighting, and removal of hazards.

procedure

Proprioception and coordination exercises

Specialized exercises improving balance, proprioception, and neuromuscular coordination reduce falls by enhancing body awareness and reaction time.
