Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Fractures caused by osteoporosis most often occur in the spine. Spinal fractures-called vertebral compression fractures-occur an estimated 1.5 million times each year in the United States. They are almost twice as common as other fractures typically linked to osteoporosis, such as broken hips and wrists.
Detailed explanation-2: -Osteoporosis causes your bones to become fragile and more likely to break or fracture from even a minor injury or fall. The hip is one of the bones most likely to be affected and unfortunately, hip fractures or breaks can make it hard to walk.
