Osteoporosis Facts
Osteoporosis is a thinning of the bones - a disease in which the amount of calcium present in the bones slowly decreases to a point where bones become brittle and fragile, and can fracture with mild stress. Eighty percent of the more than 24 million Americans who have osteoporosis are women. As estrogen levels decrease, the risk of osteoporosis increases. It affects almost half of all women over 50 and almost 90 percent of those over age 75.
