Osteoporosis is a condition where the bones begin to lose their density, placing the sufferer at increased risk of a fracture or break. It's a condition that typically occurs as we age when the body is less able to regenerate healthy new bone.

Osteoporosis or porous bones is a disease that affects primarily white and Asian women. After menopause, the ovaries stop producing the female hormone estrogen that affects the calcium content of bones. As the bones lose calcium, they become thin and brittle. Although men may also suffer from osteoporosis as they age, women are more vulnerable because they have less bone mass.

Causes - The causes of osteoporosis are multiple. The most common is postmenopausal osteoporosis. At menopause, estrogen levels (hormones patrons of bone) suffer a collapse, while that of corticosteroids (hormones that increase bone resorption) remain constant. Senile osteoporosis is observed particularly in women past 60 years, the frequency increases with age.

Symptoms and signs - Fractures are the main manifestations of osteoporosis. Place of production varies with fracture reduction as bone density affects cortical bone or spongy bone.
