It's an age related skeletal desiease characterized by lowering estrogen levels, loss of bone mineral density (like calcium)increased bone fragility and likely hood of fractures. your body uses calcium from the bone when it runs low. as you age you cannot replace the calcium as quickly and your bones lose a signifgant amount of mass, causing them to be more brittle.
Osteoporosis is a condition where the bones become weak and brittle due to a loss of bone density, making them more susceptible to fractures. It is more commonly seen in elderly individuals, particularly postmenopausal women, but can also affect men. Prevention and management strategies often include calcium and vitamin D supplementation, regular weight-bearing exercise, and medications to help strengthen bones.
