Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become weak and brittle, making them more prone to fractures. It is more common in older adults, but it can affect people of any age. Risk factors for osteoporosis include being female, having a family history of the condition, being thin or having a small frame, and being inactive. Osteoporosis can be a silent disease, as it often does not cause symptoms until a fracture occurs. Common symptoms of osteoporosis include back pain, a loss of height, and a hunched posture. Osteoporosis can be diagnosed with a bone density test and treated with medication, lifestyle changes such as exercise and a healthy diet, and vitamin and mineral supplements. It is important to diagnose and treat osteoporosis early to prevent fractures and maintain good bone health.
