Osteoporosis primarily affects bone density and structure, which can indirectly impact the respiratory system. As vertebrae weaken and compress due to osteoporosis, it may lead to a stooped posture or kyphosis, reducing lung capacity and making breathing more difficult. This altered thoracic structure can restrict lung expansion, impairing gas exchange and leading to respiratory issues. Additionally, weakened rib bones can increase the risk of fractures, further complicating respiratory function.
