Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle-so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses such as bending over or coughing can cause a fracture. Osteoporosis-related fractures most commonly occur in the hip, wrist or spine. Bone is living tissue that is constantly being broken down and replaced.

Detailed explanation-2: -The commonest disorder of bone resorption is osteoporosis, which affects one in three women over 50 years. Its pathophysiological basis includes genetic predisposition and subtle alterations in systemic and local hormones, coupled with environmental influences.

Detailed explanation-3: -Osteoporosis weakens bones to the point that they can break easily. It is called a “silent disease” because people who develop it may not notice any changes until a bone breaks-usually a bone in the hip, spine, or wrist. Bones are made of living tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -Osteoporosis, which means porous bones, is a progressive condition in which bones become structurally weak and are more likely to fracture or break. Even with a healthy lifestyle, you may need additional therapy to protect against bone loss and fractures.

Detailed explanation-5: -Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by progressive loss of bone density, thinning of bone tissue and increased vulnerability to fractures. Osteoporosis may result from disease, dietary or hormonal deficiency or advanced age.
