Osteoporosis is a disease that causes reduced bone density making your bones fragile and decreasing the bone strength. The bones of a person with osteoporosis becomes porous like a sponge and this may lead to multiple fractures even with minor injuries. Our bones are generally composed of calcium, proteins and collagens that render strength to the bones. These fractures can occur almost on any bone in the body.
