Usually nothing.

It does, however, place you at increased risk for broken bones. General advice to decrease this risk includes getting enough calcium and vitamin D and regular weight bearing exercise. You should also control any predisposing factors which your doctor should evaluate and treat. In some, but not all, cases medication is justified.

How do you compare and contrast primary and secondary osteoporosis?

There are several medical texts out in the world that define Osteoporosis as either Primary Osteoporosis or Secondary Osteoporosis. Primary osteoporosis is said to be a bone disorder of relatively unknown origin that occurs with aging and accelerates later on in life. Secondary osteoporosis, is the type of osteoporosis that has a direct cause. This type of osteoporosis is "secondary to," or caused by, something else.Many medical professionals consider all Osteoporosis to actually be Secondary Osteoporosis. This is because there are many known factors. Doctors have said that if one examines things closely enough....you will be able to find a secondary cause for almost every case of osteoporosis. There are many disorders, factors and conditions that have been associated with the development of osteoporosis.
