Osteoporosis is basically a deteriorative medical condition in which the bones in our body becomes porous and fragile. It reduces the bone density and results in bone weakening by causing a loss in the tissue and mass of the bones. In fact, the bones. in this condition, become so unusually porous that they can easily be compressed like sponges. This puts you at a big risk of recurrent fractures in the rib, wrists, hips, and even spinal vertebrae. Though advancing age is known to be the main factor responsible for osteoporosis, in today’s scenario, it affects even young individuals irrespective of men and women.
