Welcome @florence22. Good question about anticoagulants and declining bone density or osteoporosis.
A quick search seems to show that there is increased risk of osteoporosis on some anticoagulants, such as warfarin, but that new direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are found to safe for bone health.
Here are a couple of references:
- Anticoagulants and Osteoporosis https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6862478/
- Association between oral anticoagulants and osteoporosis https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7053309/
