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.
