Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is the term used to describe the condition where the bones — particularly those of the spine, wrist, ankle and hips — become thin and weak through the progressive loss of minerals, mass and density, and are prone to break easily.

The bones become porous and brittle and with porous bones or brittle bones, there are often no warning signs or symptoms of osteoporosis before a break occurs. The condition is caused because more bone cells are lost than replaced, so bone density decreases.

It mainly affects women after the age of the menopause, although men can have it too.
