Which of the following are preventive measures for osteoporosis
Question : Which of the following are preventive measures for osteoporosis? (Select all that apply)
A. Adequate calcium intake
B. Regular weight-bearing exercise
C. Smoking cessation
D. Long-term use of glucocorticoids
Answer: ABC
Explanation: Preventive measures for osteoporosis include adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, regular weight-bearing exercise (promoting bone formation), smoking cessation, and limiting alcohol intake. Long-term use of glucocorticoids increases bone resorption and is a risk factor for osteoporosis, not a preventive measure. Hence, the correct answers are ABC.
