Osteoporosis is a condition that makes bones weak and more prone to fractures. It leads to a decrease in bone density, making bones more likely to break from falls or minor bumps. Common fracture sites include the hip, spine, and wrist. Osteoporosis can also cause chronic pain, reduced height, and a hunched posture, severely affecting daily life and physical activity. Prevention and treatment methods include increasing calcium and vitamin D intake, engaging in moderate exercise, and using medications recommended by a doctor.
