Description

Too much bone loss causes the bone to become thin and brittle, leading to a condition known as osteoporosis. Women are more susceptible if you have a family history of osteoporosis, have had your ovaries removed, are Asian or Caucasian, small-boned, inactive, or past the age of menopause.
