What is Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis, also known as brittle bone or porous bone, is a disease characterized by low bone mass, which makes bones more likely to break.

Up to 50 percent of women and 25 percent of men will sustain fragility fractures – broken bones caused by little or no trauma, such as a fall from standing height – often associated with osteoporosis.

Fractures due to osteoporosis exceed the number of breast cancer, stroke, and heart attacks combined.
