Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease that, on a cellular level, results from the imbalance of bone formation and bone resorption, causing more bone destruction. As a result, bones become weak and fragile, thus increasing the risk of fractures.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thyroid hormones speed up the bone remodeling process. This increase in speed results in an increased chance of imbalance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Abusing alcohol, smoking, and having an eating disorder are additional risk factors for osteoporosis.
