What is the name of the disease of brittle bones?
Osteoporosis.osteoporosisosteomalacia
What is a bone density test used for?
A bone density test, also called a DXA scan, is used to measure the strength and density of your bones. It is commonly used to diagnose osteoporosis, a condition characterized by weak and brittle bones that are more prone to fractures. The results of the test can help determine your risk of fractures and guide treatment decisions to prevent further bone loss.
What is it called when you lose bones as you get older?
It is called osteoporosis, a condition where bones become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures. This can occur due to aging, hormonal changes, and lack of calcium or vitamin D in the body. Regular exercise and a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D can help prevent osteoporosis.
What is poor formation of bone called?
this is the complex term.pathology depends on the factor .for eg...congenital malformation of bone is called as dysostoses.

How does fluoride impact bone health?
Fluoride helps strengthen bones by increasing bone density and reducing the risk of fractures. It can also help prevent osteoporosis, a condition where bones become weak and brittle. However, excessive fluoride intake can lead to a condition called fluorosis, which can weaken bones and cause other health problems.
What is the treatment for osteoperosous?
The treatment for osteoporosis is usually prescribed medications called bisphosphonates, such as alendronate and Ibandronate. Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become brittle and very weak, leading to bone fractures.
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. Think of Swiss cheese: it has holes in it. That is what osteoporosis looks like inside the bone. 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.
What is it called when something crumbles or breaks easily?

The lossof bone dencity that may occur in the later years of life is called?
The early signs of loss of bone density is called osteopenia. The later condition in which loss of bone density is significant is called osteoporosis.
Why does metal become more brittle after being heated then cooled?
Not all metals do, and it depends on the rate at which the metal is cooled. Basically, in some metals the crystal pattern in the metal changes when heated- and if rapidly cooled, that pattern is sort of "locked in" to the metal. If that locked in pattern is harder or more brittle than the earlier state, the metal has become more brittle. However, heating and then SLOW cooling can make some metals less brittle- it is called annealing.
