Osteoporosis may result in broken bones (fractures) in the spine and hip. Hip fractures often require hospitalization, and fractures of the bones in the spine (vertebrae) can cause loss of height and severe back pain.

During childhood and teen years, new bone is added faster than existing bone is absorbed by the body. After age 30, this process begins to reverse. As a natural part of aging, bone dissolves and is absorbed faster than new bone is made, and bones become thinner. After age 50, lower levels of estrogen in women and of testosterone in men may speed up bone loss.

Some factors can contribute to the onset of osteoporosis, but there are some people that are more likely to develop osteoporosis. Some contributing factors are below:

• Personal history of fracture after age 50
• Current low bone mass
• History of fracture in a 1° relative
• Being female
• Being thin and/or having a small frame
• Advanced age
• A family history of osteoporosis
• Estrogen deficiency as a result of menopause, especially early or surgically induced
• Abnormal absence of menstrual periods (amenorrhea)
• Anorexia nervosa
• Low lifetime calcium intake
• Vitamin D deficiency
• Use of certain medications (corticosteroids, chemotherapy, anticonvulsants and others)
• Presence of certain chronic medical conditions
• Low testosterone levels in men
• An inactive lifestyle
• Current cigarette smoking
• Excessive use of alcohol
• Being Caucasian or Asian, although African Americans and Hispanic Americans are at significant risk as well

Some of the most common symptoms of osteoporosis are:

• Bone loss
• Dryness
• Decreased Sexuality
• Decreased Bone Density
• Insomnia
