Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Osteoporosis is called a “silent” disease” because there are typically no symptoms until a bone is broken. Symptoms of vertebral (spine) fracture include severe back pain, loss of height, or spine malformations such as a stooped or hunched posture (kyphosis).
Detailed explanation-2: -The bones that make up your spine (vertebrae) can weaken to the point that they crumple and collapse, which may result in back pain, lost height and a hunched posture.
Detailed explanation-3: -Osteoporosis can also contribute to compression fractures and kyphosis, shortening height. Height loss may be the only symptom of osteoporosis that you have.
