Prevention and management of GIO involve a combination of lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and medications:
Ensuring adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D through diet or supplements. Engaging in weight-bearing and resistance exercises to strengthen bones. Avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol consumption. Using the lowest effective dose of glucocorticoids for the shortest duration possible. Considering medications such as bisphosphonates, which can help to maintain bone density.
It is also important to have regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider to monitor bone health.
