Detailed explanation-1: -What is osteomalacia? Osteomalacia is the name of a condition where bones become soft and weak. This means they can bend and break more easily than normal. The most common cause is not having enough vitamin D.
Detailed explanation-2: -Osteomalacia is more common in women and often happens during pregnancy. It’s not the same as osteoporosis. Both can cause bones to break. But while osteomalacia is a problem with bones not hardening, osteoporosis is the weakening of the bone.
Detailed explanation-3: -A diet low in calcium contributes to diminished bone density, early bone loss and an increased risk of fractures. Physical activity. People who are physically inactive have a higher risk of osteoporosis than do their more-active counterparts. Tobacco and alcohol use.

Bone contains several growth factors, including bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-), insulin-like growth factors I and II (IGF-I and IGF-II), platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) and basic and acidic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF and aFGF).
