Osteoporosis and its Prevention

Mr. Ashu Kesar

Abstract


According to medical condition in which the bones become weak and are easily broken, the body constantly absorbs and replaces bone tissue. Those persons have osteoporosis as their new bone creation does not keep up with old bone removal. Thinning of the bones with reduction in bone mass, due to depletion of calcium and bone protein takes place. About 200 million people are estimated to have osteoporosis throughout the world. In the USA, this figure is about 54 million people. Although osteoporosis occurs in both men and women, but it is four times more in women than in males.
