What is it?
Osteoporosis, which affects one in every five women over age 45, and four out of ten of more than 60 - is a decrease in bone mass and mechanical strength, is the leading cause of bone fractures in women after menopause and the elderly in general.
This disease has no well-defined beginning and, until recently, the first visible sign of the disease used to be a broken hip, wrist or vertebral body that cause pain or deformity.
At present, it can be diagnosed through a bone density study
