Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a long-term bone disorder that causes bones to become weak, fragile, and more likely to break. It develops when bone loss occurs faster than new bone is formed, reducing bone strength over time. Osteoporosis is more common in older adults, particularly postmenopausal women, but it can also affect men and younger individuals with certain risk factors. With early diagnosis, appropriate medical care, and regular follow-up, many people with osteoporosis can improve bone health and reduce their risk of fractures.
