Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is an age-related disease characterized by the chronic and progressive loss of bone mass.  Disease progression eventually leads to structural deterioration resulting in bone fragility and an increased risk of fractures; especially of the hip, spine and wrist.  Osteoporotic fractures are also associated with disabling pain.
