It is very important that we keep our bones strong and healthy for weak bones or osteoporotic bones could result in a higher chance of us breaking our bones. Osteoporosis is a disease of bone in which bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced hence bone fracture risk is increased.
The world Health Organization (WHO) defines this disease as a bone mineral density of 2.5 below the peak bone mass. Also, due to hormonal reasons, women are more prone to suffer from osteoporosis than men.
Osteoporosis fractures are those that occur under slight amount of stresses that would not normally lead to fractures in nonosteoporotic people. Typical fractures occur in the vertebral column, hip and wrist.

Risk Factors
People who smoke, take soft drinks (containing phosphoric acid), with low body weight, estrogen deficiency, have early menopause, low calcium and vitamin D intake, alcoholism, impaired eyesight despite adequate correction, recurrent falls and inadequate physical activity are at risk for the disease.
