Women in menopause should also increase their calcium intake to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and calcium deficiency disease. The decline in the hormone estrogen during menopause causes a woman's bones to thin faster. The hormone disorder hyperparathyroidism may also cause calcium deficiency disease. Many women living in rural communities with high osteoporosis prevalence underestimate their risk of osteoporosis, lack basic knowledge about osteoporosis prevention, and exercise less than recommended. Sometimes diet changes and aware to women for calcium sources.
