What changes in the bone structure to cause them to go brittle?
What is referred to as 'brittle bones' is called osteoporosis. The change in the structure of bone that causes them to become brittle is a loss of bone density from a depletion of calcium.

Instead of it being dense and filled with calcium, it has lots of holes in it, and so becomes weaker and more likely to break, or fracture.

In osteoporosis bones are soft and weak because?
Because the bone is not being renewed and replenished with calcium. This can be a genetic disease, passed down through generations, or can be caused by calcium deficiency. the bones become brittle and porous, and can break with a firm hand shake.
