Detailed explanation-1: -Osteoporosis is more likely to occur in people who have: Low calcium intake. A lifelong lack of calcium plays a role in the development of osteoporosis. Low calcium intake contributes to diminished bone density, early bone loss and an increased risk of fractures.
Detailed explanation-2: -Osteoporosis causes loss of bone mass and deterioration of bone microarchitecture with a consequent reduction in bone stiffness and strength, thus resulting in an increased risk of fragility fractures.
Detailed explanation-3: -Osteoporosis is a bone disease that develops when bone mineral density and bone mass decreases, or when the structure and strength of bone changes. This can lead to a decrease in bone strength that can increase the risk of fractures (broken bones).
Detailed explanation-4: -Taking calcium reduces bone loss and decreases the risk of fracturing the vertebrae (the bones that surround the spinal cord). Consuming calcium during childhood (eg, in milk) can lead to higher bone mass in adulthood. This increase in bone density can reduce the risk of fractures later in life.
