Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As a result of the aging process, the bone deteriorates in composition, structure and function, which predisposes to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is defined as deterioration in bone mass and micro-architecture, with increasing risk to fragility fractures [Raisz and Rodan, 2003].
Detailed explanation-2: -Osteoporosis affects men and women of all races. But white and Asian women, especially older women who are past menopause, are at highest risk. Medications, healthy diet and weight-bearing exercise can help prevent bone loss or strengthen already weak bones.
