National: Osteoporosis - Awareness & Prevention
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that causes your bones to become so thin that they can break during normal daily activities. Whether you develop osteoporosis or loss of bone mass (osteopenia) depends on the thickness of your bones early in life, as well as health, diet, and physical activity later in life. Both men and women can develop osteoporosis as they age, although women who have gone through menopause are at greatest risk. Women have less bone mass than men and lose bone mass sooner and faster than men. Women of European and Asian ancestry are more likely to have osteoporosis than those from other backgrounds. -WebMD with AOL Health
