Sažetak

Osteoporosis is a major public health concern affecting millions of older adults worldwide and is associated with an increased risk of fragility fractures. Dietary factors and bioactive food components have growing attention as potential strategies for maintaining bone health. Dried plums (prunes) have been recognised as a fruit with a large influence in bone health. Numerous studies in animal models suggest that dried plum consumption may attenuate bone loss and improve bone structure and strength. Clinical studies, in postmenopausal women and men, have also reported the bone-protective effects of dried plum consumption although these effects appear to be relatively limited. In general, dried plums may represent a promising dietary approach for supporting bone health but further well-designed, long term trials in large, diverse populations are needed to establish their potential role in preserving bone mass and reducing the risk of fractures.
