Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Osteoporosis is called a “silent disease” because bone loss occurs without symptoms. People typically do not know that they have osteoporosis until their bones become so weak that a sudden strain, twist, or fall results in a fracture.
Detailed explanation-2: -Weakened Bones Cannot Get Stronger. This is false. For younger people with strong bones and older ones who fear their bones have already diminished, there is a perception that there is nothing that can be done to help strengthen their bones.
