Our bones weaken when the protein and collagen content becomes fewer in number. Bone density decreases, making our bones porous and sponge-like. The reason for this decrease in bone mass is the slowed down activity or inactivity of estrogen (in women) and androgen (in men), which dictates the rate of the bone-building process in the body. Osteoporosis is a common health concern among adults since it can be a source of debilitating conditions. Proper awareness and knowledge of the disease can help us prevent and address this health threat.
