An important challenge for is maintaining healthy bone density with increasing age.  Hormonal changes which occur with the change of age with menopause contribute significantly to low bone mass in women.  Specifically, decreased levels of estrogen after menopause cause reductions in levels of osteoprotegerin.   Osteoprotegerin opposes the process of bone resorption (breakdown) that is mediated by osteoclasts which are the cells responsible for bone breakdown.

Generally, estrogen, when present at premenopausal levels, encourages the origination of bone-building osteoprotegerin, improving bone structural density.

Menopause-related changes in estrogen levels will occur 2–3 years prior to the last menstrual cycle in women, the rate of bone loss continues menopause for up to 5–10 years. Besides, there is no particular evidence on preventive strategies for osteoporosis can be complete without mentioning the importance of calcium and vitamin D intake, both of which are often low in postmenopausal women.  Vitamin D regulates calcium balance. Intake of calcium and vitamin D in low levels can lead to the increased levels of parathyroid hormone, which in turn leads to increased bone resorption and also increases the risk of fractures.  Researchers say that women having Vitamin D Deficiency suffer from Osteoporosis
