Rotten would be an overstatement, but many older people experience a condition called osteoporosis in which their bones become more porous, less dense, and weaker, and break more easily as a result. This doesn't happen to everyone, but it is quite common. Making sure that you have enough vitamin D and enough calcium in your diet can help to avoid this problem.
