Osteoporosis, characterized by reduced bone mass, and increased bone fragility due to deformation of microstructure or bone tissue, is the most often -encountered systemic skeletal disorder caused by various reasons. Osteoporosis is considered a "silent disease" because the bone loss is asymptomatic.
The purpose of promoting health at osteoporosis is to make individuals have a proper diet and exercise. As osteoporosis is a preventable disease, its importance particularly for women is how it can be prevented, how it can be kept at minimum level and how its development can be lowered to minimum and delayed.
