Osteoporosis is the first thing that comes to mind when describing our patient‚ “An 84-year-old thin‚ small boned white female.” Bone production is more abundant in younger children the years before they reach puberty. As you age it takes longer for bone to form. Osteoporosis is caused when you lose bone mass quicker than new bone mass is formed. Calcium‚ Vitamin D‚ and Phosphate are needed to form bone. Insufficient amounts of these minerals can cause bones to become brittle and weak over time

Christine Rosa The Aging Musculoskeletal System A&P 1 Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a disease of bones that leads to an increased risk of fracture. In osteoporosis‚ the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced‚ bone microarchitecture deteriorates‚ and the amount and variety of proteins in bones are altered. Osteoporosis can cause severe back pain‚ hip fracture‚ and loss of mobility. It is very damaging to the vertebrae and can lead to needing spinal surgery. Age is an independent risk factor
