Osteoporosis in Russia, as well as all over the world, is one of the most important health problems, and there has been a growing trend of this pathology in recent decades. In densitometric examination of persons aged 50 years and older, osteoporosis in Russia was detected in 30.5-33.1% of women, and the incidence of fractures of the proximal femur in persons over 50 years old averages 105.9 per 100 000 population. The article discusses the problems of osteoporosis in women of different ages, risk groups, methods of osteoporosis diagnosing, as well as the possibilities of therapy and prevention, including lifestyle, nutrition and physical activity. Particular attention is paid to the importance of taking medications containing vitamin complexes. One of these complexes is Osteo Active, an additional source of calcium, vitamin D, potassium, magnesium and fluorine. Osteo Active should be taken from the age of 35, especially in the risk group for osteoporosis, because the process of destruction of bone tissue (resorption) begins to predominate over its synthesis and the bones become more brittle.

Key words: osteoporosis, prevention, calcium, vitamin D, Osteo Active.
