Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Osteoporosis frequently refers to “the silent killer” since it usually exhibits no symptoms. The patients are unaware of their bone loss until they experience fractures.
Detailed explanation-2: -Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle-so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses such as bending over or coughing can cause a fracture. Osteoporosis-related fractures most commonly occur in the hip, wrist or spine. Bone is living tissue that is constantly being broken down and replaced.
