Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a disease that thins and weakens the bones to the point that they become fragile and break easily. Osteoporosis increases the chance of breaking bones such as a hip, spine or wrist especially after a fall. It is most common in women over 50 years of age. Those at risk must talk with their doctor to ensure they are getting the proper nutrition, exercise, medications, and diagnostic tests.
