:: Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a condition of excessive skeletal fragility resulting in bones that break easily.

A combination of genetic, dietary, hormonal, age-related, and lifestyle factors all contribute to this condition. The osteoporosis seen in postmenopausal women is the most common and best-studied, but there are other causes that may be treated differently.
