Calcium and Vitamin D, since you need one to absorb the other.

Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disorder in the elderly, mostly in postmenopausal women and especially women over the age of 60. It causes decreased bone density.
Osteoporosis (oss-tee-oh-puh-ro-sis) is a disease of the bones. It means the bones are weak and more likely to break. People with osteoporosis most often break bones in the hip, spine, and wrist. Anyone can get osteoporosis, but it's most common in older women. The older you are, the greater your risk of osteoporosis. There are no signs or symptoms of osteoporosis. You might not know you have the disease until you break a bone. That is why it's so important to get a bone density test.
Osteopenia, which leads to osteoporosis
Having osteoporosis with progressively weaken your bones, making it brittle and predisposing one to fracture. This is especially common in post-menopausal women.
Osteoporosis makes bones more "brittle". This usually involves the loss of calcium, which makes bones hard. Osteoporosis affects more women than men, and more elderly women than younger women. Little exercise, little exposure to sunlight, not consuming milk products, and aging all can lead to osteoporosis.
Why are women more prone to osteoporosis than men
Why are women more prone to osteoporosis than men
Well If the elderly women's birth cells are all gone then no. The reason being is that they wont need the help if they don't need it. =) And if you dissagree then don't lisin:)
The two reasons why women are more prone to osteoporosis than men include the fact that men are not prone to hormone changes as women are and a man's bones are larger and denser than a woman's. Another reason why women are more prone to osteoporosis than men is because women have a less peak bone mass than men do.
yes, about every 1 in 3 women get osteoporosis, and about 1 in 12 men get osteoporosis
osteoporosis
osteoporosis can be defined as a type of disease which is characterized by low bone mass and deteriorates the bone tissues makes them useless or weaker to support the body. It causes increased bone fragility and risk of fracture at large scale , particularly of the hip, spine and wrist etc as they are the important bones of the person for working. The answer is: a calcium deficiency.
