Idiopathic osteoporosis - what does this mean

Idiopathic osteoporosis is a type of osteoporosis that occurs without an identifiable cause. it is thought to be caused by genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, or lifestyle factors such as lack of exercise, smoking, and inadequate calcium intake. it results in weakened bones that are more susceptible to fractures.

What happens during the disease - idiopathic osteoporosis

Idiopathic osteoporosis is a disorder of unknown cause that is characterized by a decrease in bone density and increased risk of fractures. it is believed to be caused by a disruption in the balance between the processes of bone resorption and bone formation, resulting in a decrease in bone mineral density and an increased risk of fractures. other factors that may contribute to the development of this condition include hormonal imbalances, inadequate calcium intake, and a sedentary lifestyle.
