Description
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that makes your bones weak, brittle, and likely to break.
How It Affects the Body
- Healthy bone looks like a tiny honeycomb under a microscope.
- Osteoporosis makes the holes in the honeycomb much larger.
- Your body loses old bone faster than it can build new bone.
- Breaks happen most often in the hip, spine, and wrist
