Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis, often referred to as the "silent disease," is a condition characterized by a decrease in bone mineral density, leading to weakened bones and an increased risk of fractures. As bones become more fragile, even minor falls or bumps can cause serious injuries. While osteoporosis can affect people of all ages, it is particularly common among postmenopausal women and older adults.
