Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis is a state in which the bones become weak and brittle, making them more prone to falls and fractures. It is often brought about by disease and age (menopausal osteoporosis). In osteoporosis, the activity of bone-destroying cells surpasses the activity of bone-forming cells. Most people do not suffer from any symptoms until there’s a fracture and bones literally start to break.
