Osteoporosis is a common bone disease. It occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both. As a result, bones become weak and may break from a fall or, in serious cases, from something as simple as coughing or sneezing or minor bumps. Osteoporosis can affect anyone, but women who have passed menopause are at the highest risk.
Medications, healthy diet and weight-bearing exercise can help prevent bone loss or strengthen already weak bones. A bone density test can determine if you have osteoporosis.
