Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both. As a result, bones become weak and may break much easier than that of a normal aging bone, Under a microscope healthy bone looks like a honeycomb, when osteoporosis occurs, the holes and spaces in the honeycomb are much larger than in healthy bone. Osteoporosis means "porous bone."
Osteoporosis is common, costly and can lead to very serious complications. About 54 million Americans have osteoporosis and low bone mass. Studies suggest that approximately one in two women and up to one in four men age 50 and older will break a bone due to osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is responsible for two million broken bones and $19 billion in related costs every year. By 2025, experts predict that osteoporosis will be responsible for approximately three million fractures and $25.3 billion in costs annually.
