Recognizing the signs of osteoporosis is important for early detection.

One sign of osteoporosis is frequent fractures. Another indication is losing height over time, which can happen when the bones in your spine get weaker and collapse.

If you notice you're getting shorter or have lost at least an inch of height during your annual check-up, it's important to mention this to your doctor and ask for a bone density test to check your bone health.

Back pain, caused by weak or broken bones in the spine, and a hunched posture are other symptoms. A hunched posture usually appears in more advanced stages of osteoporosis, making it difficult to stand up straight.
