Well, it occurs in older men and women and females are more common to get osteoporosis after menopause (around age 50). What happens is, your bones start to become very brittle and can break with sudden movement or shock. So, please be careful with your grandparents if they seem to start becoming shorter and hunching over. It may be bad for them so please, dont push them down the stairs or play any tricks on them, because the simplest shock may do them much harm.

What animals can get osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a weakening of the bone matrix to the point that the bones can break under normal conditions such as walking, sitting, standing, etc. This can happen in any animal with calcified bones, although it is rare in companion animals as commercial blended diets (such as Purina, Iams-Eukanuba, Hill's, Royal Canin, etc.) are formulated with sufficient calcium to prevent this. In addition, most companion animals do not go through a process like menopause, which is linked to osteoporosis in human females.
