There are quite a few disease that can affect the bones in your body. I will name the top 3. They are Osteoporosis, Osteogenesis imperfecta, and Paget's disease. A short description of the three are listed below:

1.) Osteporosis, is the most commonly known one, this affects people of all ages, but is common in older women. Osteoporosis, as defined by Google Health, is the thinning of bone tissue and loss of bone density, or when the bone simply just gets too old and the body fails to produce enough new bone. 2.) Osteogenesis imperfecta is a condition that causes extremely fragile bones. This disease is known an congenital, meaning it occurs at birth.

3.) Paget's Disease is a chronic bone condition that is characterized by disorder of the normal bone remodeling process. This disease is most common in older adults. Paget's Disease is rarely found in children, mainly just adults. Bone diseases may come in different names. But basically, all of it involves the break down or weakening of the bone tissues in the body. there is basically, many bones.
The diseases of bones are:Rickets,Osteoporosis,Scolios,Arthritis and Bone Infections.
osteoporosis, cancer, osteogenisis imperfecta, Paget's disease, Rickets, osteonecrosis.

The name of a common bone disease is osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a result of deterioration of the bones and a low bone mass density. Calcium intake is crucial to prevent further deterioration.

Another common disease is osteomyelitis, which is an infection of the bone.

Less common, but serious, is osteogenesis imperfecta, a genetic disorder which causes weak bones and teeth.
