Osteoporosis Overview
Osteoporosis is a disease affecting bones as a result of losing bone material or not producing enough bone tissue. This results in weak and brittle bones prone to fracture with minimal force.
The condition can occur due to hormonal changes such as menopause, or from deficiency of calcium or vitamin D. There are usually no symptoms until bones become too weak. Back pain may develop due to collapsed or fractured vertebrae. The most common sites of osteoporosis are the back, hips, and legs.
