Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens the bones silently and making them more prone to the fractures .it is an medical condition characterised by low bone mass and deterioration of bones tissues which leads to the fragility of bones and increased risks for the fracture of bone

Osteoporosis results from an imbalance between bone resorption and the bone formation .It can be caused by several factors like estrogen deficiency in womens after menopause, low testosterone levels in men ,due to hyperthroidism ,parathroid disorders ,or due to cushing's syndrome in which cortisol levels increases too much
It can also accurs due to the deficiency of nutrients in our body like due to the deficiency of protiens ,calcium or vitamin d e.t.c
Some lifestyle factors also causes osteoporosis like lack of physical activity , smoking ,Alcohol consumption , and it is also associated with some medical conditions like rheumatoid arthritis , chronic kidney disease ,celiac disease.
