What Is Senile Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease characterized by low bone mass, damaged bone microstructure and increased bone fragility, and prone to fracture (World Health Organization, WHO). The National Institutes of Health (NIH) proposes that osteoporosis is a skeletal systemic disease characterized by decreased bone strength and increased risk of fracture. Bone strength responds to two main aspects of bone, namely bone mineral density and bone mass.
