Abstract

Osteoporosis, a common skeletal disorder characterized by diminished bone density and strength, poses a significant public health challenge worldwide, particularly among the aging population. This abstract explores the rising importance of omega-3 fatty acids in the management and preventing of osteoporosis. This comprehensive review delves into the molecular process underlying the effect of fatty acids on the metabolism of bone. Preclinical and clinical research data elucidates the beneficial effects of omega-3 fatty acids on bone density, bone formation, and the reduction of bone resorption. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory characteristics of these fats were examined, shedding light on their potential to mitigate the prolonged low-grade inflammation related to osteoporosis.
