Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A bone density test measures how strong your bones are. The test will tell you if you have osteoporosis (or weak bones), and it can help you understand your risk of breaking a bone in the future. Women are at higher risk for osteoporosis than men, and the risk increases with age. Men can get osteoporosis, too.

Detailed explanation-2: -Osteoporosis is a bone disease that develops when bone mineral density and bone mass decreases, or when the structure and strength of bone changes. This can lead to a decrease in bone strength that can increase the risk of fractures (broken bones).
