Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why osteoporosis increases risk of bone fracture?
A
Bone density decrease due to lack of calcium
B
Bone density increase due to too much calcium
C
Blood vessels are blocked by plaque
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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).

Detailed explanation-2: -orosis and fractures People with osteoporosis may have substantially decreased bone mass, clinically defined as bone mineral density (BMD) a certain amount below the average level in young adults. The decrease in bone mass makes the bones more fragile and they are broken more easily than bones of ‘normal’ mass.

Detailed explanation-3: -Over time, having too little calcium can cause osteopenia, a reduction of mineral density in the bones. This can lead to osteoporosis, which causes the bones to thin and become vulnerable to fractures, as well as pain and problems with posture.

Detailed explanation-4: -Adults need calcium to maintain strong bones. Over time, inadequate calcium intake can cause osteoporosis, the brittle bone disease. People with osteoporosis are at high risk for broken bones, especially at the wrist, hip and spine.
