1. You can take a calcium supplement
2. You increase protein intake
3. Sorry can't really change being female
4. Hormone replacement therapy HRT
5. Since it doesn't say Type 2, we will say no we cannot change this

So, 1, 2, 4

Calcium deficiency is an important modifiable risk factor that contributes to osteoporosis. Calcium and vitamin D supplements and a diet including foods high in calcium and vitamin D will help correct the deficiency. A high-protein diet can cause acidosis, which can contribute to osteoporosis since calcium is withdrawn from the kidney as the kidneys attempt to buffer the excess acid. Acidosis can also directly stimulate osteoclast function. Being female is an unmodifiable risk factor. Decreasing levels of the hormone estrogen as well as testosterone in men are unmodifiable risk factors of osteoporosis. Diabetes mellitus is not a modifiable risk factor, although it may be controlled.

Just 1 and 2.
