Osteoporosis is a degenerative disease of the skeletal system. Bone mass and density is decreased putting those who suffer from the condition at an increased risk and causes higher instances of fractures. While there is no single known cause for this disease there are several factors that help determine who will get Osteoporosis. Since there is no cure for Osteoporosis, prevention and early detection is extremely important. Knowing the risk factors is the best hope for preventing and maintaining Osteoporosis. The risks are additive, meaning that the more risk factors you possess, the greater your chances for developing the disease.

Osteoporosis is a disease of the skeletal system. This type of condition constitutes low bone mass, or the loss of the normal density of bone and the structural deterioration of the bone tissue. Osteoporosis quite literally means porous bone. Bones are comprised of protein, collagen and calcium and are normally very dense in nature. Osteoporosis, a disorder of the skeleton causes the bone to be more compressible or sponge like. This type of structural deterioration of the bone tissue makes the bones more fragile and more susceptible to fracture.

Osteoporosis is a degenerative disease of the skeletal system. Bone mass and density is decreased putting those who suffer from the condition at an increased risk of fracture. Osteoporosis is often referred to as the silent disease because there are no visible signs or symptoms of bone loss. There is no single cause for Osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is a degenerative disease of the skeletal system. Bones become porous, leaving them fragile and highly susceptible to fracture. As the world population ages it is becoming increasingly more prevalent each year. There is no cure for Osteoporosis. There has been no single cause named, but doctors and researchers have discovered several factors that contribute to its onset.
