Oseteoporosis. "Osteo" is the root word meaning "bones", and the "porous" part indicates that the bones aren't as solid as they should be.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a bone disease in which the bones become less dense and more brittle. Osteosclerosis is the medical term meaning abnormal hardening of bone.
Osteoporosis affects the density of the bones in the body. It causes the bones to become less dense and thus weaker and more prone to breaking.
Mammal bones are less dense and thicker, because they don't have to deal with the stresses of flying. The bones of a bird are thinner, and have a dense structure of internal struts that make the bone exceptionally stiff and strong.
No, Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the brain, leading to memory loss and cognitive decline. Bone density is not a characteristic symptom of Alzheimer's disease.
Cooler material is more dense and hotter material is less. This means that plates become more dense as they cool.

Yes. They do become less dense provided that the diamond melts. The particles in liquid are less close to each other as compared to in a solid.
Bones can become less dense due to factors like aging, hormonal changes (such as menopause), lack of physical activity, poor nutrition (especially calcium and vitamin D deficiency), and certain medical conditions and medications that impair bone health. As bone density decreases, bones can become weaker and more prone to fractures. Regular weight-bearing exercise, a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol intake can help maintain or improve bone density.
When thermal energy is added to a liquid, the molecules will move faster and further apart, causing the liquid to expand and become less dense.
Older women are the most at risk due to a loss of certain hormones as they age. The condition is one where the bones become less dense making them brittle and easy to fracture.
