Osteoporosis is a major health problem which often occurs among women after menopause or in older age. A significant shrink in bone mass increases the risk of bone fracture. One out of three older women suffers from osteoporosis while one out of eight men suffers osteoporosis.
Parts of the human bones which most frequently suffer from osteoporosis are segments of back bone, upper part of thigh bone, and wrist bone.
