Osteoporosis is a bone disease that makes bones become weak and brittle. The word osteoporosis means 'porous bone' which is more prone to fractures. Osteoporotic bones have low mineral density and may break from a fall or even a cough or sneeze. Fractures due to osteoporosis are more likely to occur in the hip, spine and wrist. Older women are more likely to suffer from osteoporosis.
