Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak, brittle, and more prone to fractures due to loss of bone density. It commonly affects older adults—especially women—but can occur at any age due to poor nutrition, hormonal changes, or lack of physical activity. Early detection through bone density tests, along with proper diet, supplements, exercise, and medical treatment, plays a key role in preventing fractures. Maintaining strong bones is essential for long-term mobility, independence, and quality of life.
