Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by loss of strength and thickness of bone tissue.
This leads to bone fragility and fractures, particularly of the hips, spine and wrists. Although all races can develop osteoporosis, it is more prevalent in Caucasian or Asian women. Osteoporosis occurs most dramatically in the first three to five years after menopause then continues at a slower rate after that time. The process is made worse by an inactive lifestyle, cigarette smoking, and excessive use of alcohol. Low testosterone levels in men can lead to osteoporosis.
