Osteoporosis is when bones thin out due to aging and other factors. It often leads to broken bones and fractures. What increases the risks is aging, being female, lack of hormones, low body weight, menopause, smoking, and medications. Supplements, exercise, and lifestyle changes can help with the disease. In severe cases medications and surgery are options.
