Silent bone epidemic - osteoporosis

Abstract

According to the U.S. International Osteoporosis Association, more than 44 million people have osteoporosis or face the threat of developing osteoporosis due to low bone density results. Estimates place osteoporosis by the end of 2021 around 60 million.. Every three seconds in the world a fracture happens due to the decrease in bone density, causing almost 10 million fractures just because of the pressure on the bones affected by osteoporosis. In general, osteoporosis is associated with a weakened, sarcopenic muscular system so there is no strong support for the degenerated bone.
