Yes, prolonged bed rest can lead to osteoporosis. When the body is inactive for an extended period, particularly weight-bearing activities are limited, it can result in decreased bone density. This is because bones need regular mechanical stress to maintain their strength; without it, bone resorption exceeds bone formation, leading to a loss of bone mass. As a result, individuals who are bedridden or immobile for long periods are at a higher risk for developing osteoporosis.

These are caused by lack of use just as they are in cases of prolonged bed rest.

What does disuse osteopenia mean?
Disuse osteopenia refers to a decrease in bone density that occurs due to a lack of mechanical stress or weight-bearing activity on the bones. This condition typically arises when a person leads a sedentary lifestyle, is immobilized due to injury, or experiences prolonged bed rest. As a result, the bones lose minerals and strength, increasing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis. To prevent disuse osteopenia, regular physical activity and weight-bearing exercises are essential.
