Osteoporosis

 Osteoporosis is a medical condition in which the bones become weak and fragile due to the loss of bone tissue. This condition leads to increased risk of fractures, especially in the hip, spine, and wrist. Osteoporosis is a common condition that affects mostly older people, particularly women after menopause. Some of the factors that contribute to the development of osteoporosis include a low-calcium diet, lack of physical activity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and certain medical conditions and medications. The diagnosis of osteoporosis is typically made through bone density tests, and treatment options include medications to prevent bone loss, calcium and vitamin D supplements, and lifestyle changes to improve bone health.
