    GlossaryOsteoporosis

    condition where bones lose density, becoming fragile and fracture-prone

    Osteoporosis is a medical condition characterized by weakened bones that become brittle and more prone to fractures. This occurs due to a decrease in bone density and mass, often as a result of aging, hormonal changes, or deficiencies in calcium and vitamin D. For professionals, it is important to note that osteoporosis is diagnosed through bone mineral density (BMD) tests and managed through lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes hormone replacement therapy.
