Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that makes the bones weak and brittle by decreasing bone density. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break. Women are more likely to develop osteoporosis than men. Signs and symptoms include back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra, loss of height over time, a stooped posture, a bone that breaks much more easily than expected.
