Osteoporosis is a disease where in there is loss of bone mass and a collapse in the structural design of the bones. It makes bones so feeble and fragile that a mild stress, a minor strike or even a fit of coughing can lead to a fracture particularly in the hip, spine, and wrist which can damage a person’s ability to walk on his own, or can lead to a lengthened disability and even death. It affects millions of people above the age of 60 and mostly women. It is often called “The Silent Disease” because most people don’t even realize that they are at risk.
