Osteoporosis Information
Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more
likely to break. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis
can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. These broken bones,
also known as fractures, occur typically in the hip, spine, and
wrist.
Any bone can be affected, but of special concern are fractures of
the hip and spine. A hip fracture almost always requires hospitalization
and major surgery. It can impair a person's ability to walk unassisted
and may cause prolonged or permanent disability or even death. Spinal
or vertebral fractures also have serious consequences, including
loss of height, severe back pain, and deformity.
Millions of Americans are at risk. While women are four times more
likely than men to develop the disease, men also suffer from osteoporosis.
