Osteoporosis in diseases classified elsewhere - what does this mean
Osteoporosis in diseases classified elsewhere is a condition in which bones become fragile and more likely to break due to a decrease in bone mass. this can be caused by certain medical conditions such as endocrine disorders, malabsorption syndromes, and certain medications. it can also be caused by lifestyle factors such as lack of physical activity, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption.
What happens during the disease - osteoporosis in diseases classified elsewhere
Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become fragile and brittle due to decreased bone mass and density. it is caused by an imbalance in the normal process of bone remodeling, which is the process of bone destruction and formation. this imbalance is caused by a decrease in the activity of bone-forming cells, increased activity of bone-destroying cells, and/or inadequate calcium and vitamin d intake. these factors lead to decreased bone mass, increased fragility, and increased risk of fractures.
