Osteoporosis is a health complication noted to be a decrease in bone density, texture and overall anatomy of the bone. It is a disorder which affects greater adults most often than not, as a result of aging mostly amidst other factors. It is a delicate health condition and at worse case scenario leads to bone fracture due to weakening of the bones. New bones do not replenish old ones causing the worn out of the existing bones.

Aging Process:
During the aging process the bone tissues usually get weaker and when they are not replenished they tend to lead to long term osteoporosis eventually.

Hormonal Changes:
This factor is a cause dependent on age, once a woman approaches menopause the quest to produce estrogen reduced this increasing tendencies of getting this osteoporosis. Same way as a man approaches age 50 too. The producing of testosterone reduces and this tends to cause osteoporosis on the long run

Bad Habits:
Dangerous habits like smoking and excessive alcohol intake with little or no exercise could actually be a factor to trigger bad turmoil of osteoporosis. It is a cause not to be overlooked.
