Osteoporosis is a disease that causes a decrease in the density, quality, mass and calcium content of bones. This makes the bones more fragile, increases the risk of pathological and spontaneous fractures, and can increase the risk of injury.
Osteoporosis most often occurs in older age, especially in women after menopause, but it can also affect men. The disease is associated with an imbalance between bone formation and bone breakdown.
