Osteoporosis - Overview

Osteoporosis is a metabolic disease in which the structure of bone tissue breaks down, leaving bones thin and brittle. As part of the natural lifecycle of bone, old bone tissue is continuously being absorbed and a new bone is formed until the age of thirty. Bone mass increases because new bone forms faster than old bone breaks down. After thirty, the rate of new bone formation gradually declines, leading to overall loss of bone mass.
