Osteoporosis is a bone disease that presents as decreased bone density and alteration of proteins in the bone. This causes a much increased risk of bone fractures. There are three classifications of the disease: Postmenopausal osteoporosis (primary type 1) which occurs in women after menopause, senile osteoporosis (primary type 2) which occurs in both males and females over the age of around 75, and secondary osteoporosis which can occur in males and females of any age.
