Abstract
Osteoporosis is a "silent disease" characterized by reduced bone mass and increased skeletal fragility, making nurses' roles in education, prevention as well as holistic support, critical. Key nursing interventions focus on lifestyle modifications, fall prevention strategies, coordination of pharmacological therapy and psychosocial support. By promoting early screening, nurses can significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with osteoporotic fractures. Specialized nursing care is essential to mitigate the profound physical and psychosocial burdens of this chronic condition and improve the overall quality of life.
