‘Osteo’ means ‘of the bone’. Osteoporosis literally means ‘porous bones.’ Osteoporosis is the thinning/degeneration of bones that occurs with age. The Bone Mineral Density (BMD) declines with age and bones become weak and fragile making them more susceptible to fracture. Bones become porous, compressible almost like a sponge. In most cases symptoms are not noticed superficially till a fracture occurs in the bone. Bones affected by Osteoporosis can break even with a relatively minor injury as compared to normal healthy bones. The spine, hips, ribs, and wrists are common areas of bone fractures from osteoporosis. However, fractures can occur in any other affected bone in the body. It is therefore important to keep our bones healthy right from an early age with good dietary habits, exercise and thus ensure a healthy lifestyle.
