General Info about Osteoporosis
In Greek, Osteo means "bone" and porosis mean a "porous condition".
In osteoporosis the bone mass in the body becomes reduced or porous like and the skeletal system of your body is deeply affected and brings about a lot of changes to your system.
Osteoporosis is defined as that category of decreased bone mass where the disturbance is a failure of the osteoblasts to lay down bone matrix…. Three factors which influence osteoblastic activity are…. steroidal hormones, mechanical stresses and strains, and nitrogenous building blocks…. I have told you more about osteoporosis than I know. What I have told you is subject to change without notice. I hope I have raised more questions than I have given answers. In any case, as usual, a lot more work is needed.
-Fuller Albright, 1947
