A condition where the loss of calcium in the bone results in bones becoming weakened and fragile Older women tend to be at risk to develop this condition Additional risk occurs with the presence of rheumatoid arthritis and the use of corticosteriods For more information, see the American College of Rheumatology Fact Sheet
Disorder in which bones and skeletal tissues become less dense and break easily Osteoporosis occurs most often in post-menopausal women and elderly men
is the disease that causes bones to become thinner Thin bones can break easily It's often called the "silent thief" because it steals your bone mass , but you can't see or feel it happening
Disease of the bone which may lead to increased risk of fracture and is characterized by a decreased density of the bone as measured by a bone densitometer (DEXA) It involves the bone itself and is not a form of arthritis
a disease in which the bones become extremely porous, are subject to fracture, and heal slowly, occurring especially in women following menopause and often leading to curvature of the spine from vertebral collapse
Reduction in bone density (bone thinning) typically associated with old age Diffuse involvement of bones with Myeloma produces what looks like osteoporosis on X-ray and bone density measurement
is a degenerative condition of the spine and is caused by a decrease in bone mass This may cause the vertebrae to slide forward causing kyphosis (dowagers hump)
Without adequate amounts of estrogen, bones tend to become thinner and weaker This condition, called osteoporosis, can result in hip, wrist, and spinal fractures, as well as a humped back Early menopausal bone loss may lead to osteoporosis
