PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Disorders of the endocrine system, such as primary hyperparathyroidism, hyperthyroidism, hypogonadism, growth hormone deficiency, Cushing’s syndrome, and anorexia nervosa frequently cause secondary osteoporosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mechanism. The thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, or adrenal glands, and the pancreas are parts of the endocrine system, and, therefore are associated with the endocrine bone disease. Some common endocrine disorders are hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Paget’s disease, Osteoporosis, and diabetes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Osteoporosis refers to weak bones. Osteopenia is another term, sometimes used to describe a less severe condition of weaker bones. Both are “silent” diseases because bone loss often occurs without you knowing it. As a result, bones become weak, and are more likely to break (fracture).
