MAIN CAUSES OF BONE LOSS
Keywords:
: osteoporosis, menopause, estrogen, testosterone, physical inactivity, alcoholAbstract
Bone density loss is a condition characterized by the reduction in bone mass and strength, medically referred to as osteopenia and its more severe form, osteoporosis. As a result of this pathological process, bones become fragile, increasing their susceptibility to fractures. The disease usually progresses slowly and may not manifest any symptoms in its early stages, which is why it is often referred to as the "silent epidemic."
