WHAT IS OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weakened and brittle bones, elevating the risk of fractures. Often termed a “silent” disease, it manifests without symptoms until a bone breaks. The root cause is an imbalance between the slower production of new bone tissue and the faster loss of old bone tissue. Treatment objectives for osteoporosis focus on slowing or halting bone loss and preventing fractures.
