Osteoporosis is a completely silent disease, so it is often detected after the occurrence of the first fracture. Considering that most cases are diagnosed between the ages of 50 and 70, we can say that people can have a normal life until that point.
From old age onwards, the outlook changes dramatically as the disease becomes more invasive and the bones become vulnerable. In its advanced stage, fractures occur recurrently, leading the patient to a disabling condition and even death within a few years.
