INTRODUCTION
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone density and deterioration of bone tissue with a consequent increase in bone fragility

INCIDENCE
Osteoporosis is 3 times more common in women than in men partly because women have a lower peak bone mass and because of the hormonal changes that occurs at the menopause.

CAUSES OF OSTEOPOROSIS
low calcium diet lack of physical activity family history gender( women are more likely to

OSTEOPOROSIS FRACTURE
The most serious osteoporotic fracture is that of the hip
Hip fractures typically occurs from falls, but may occur spontaneously
Women are more prone, and incidence rates rise exponentially with age

DIAGNOSIS
bone mineral density. DEXA ( a bone density scan) CT scan X-rays( in severe cases, a spine/hip x-ray may
show fracture or collapse of the spinal bones)

GOALS OF OSTEOPOROSIS TREATMENT
control pain from the disease slow down or stop bone loss prevent bone fractures minimize the risk of falls

Exercise Medications. It may include:
Biphosphonates(used to prevent and treat osteoporosis in post menopausal women)

Parathyoid hormones( for severe osteoporosis)
