Disease/Condition Glossary

Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that causes bone weakness and thinning by lowering bone density. Bones become weaker and more prone to breaking as their density decreases. Women are more likely than men to develop osteoporosis after menopause because their ovaries stop producing oestrogen (a female hormone) needed to keep bones healthy. Bone loss occurs after menopause, weakening bones and making them more likely to break. Back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra, gradual loss of height, a stooped posture, and bones that break much more quickly than expected are all signs and symptoms.
