OSTEOPOROSIS is a generalised, degenerative disorder of the skeleton. As a person ages, the bone will lose its density and become thinner and more porous. This will make the bone more susceptible to fractures. There are many causes of osteoporosis, such as lack of the sex hormones oestrogen and testosterone, which occurs as a woman or a man ages, heavy smoking, calcium and vitamin D deficiency, as well as excess of thyroid and steroid hormones.
