    About this ebook

    Osteoporosis is caused when bone mass decreases.  This results in the bones to be more susceptible to fracture. Bone is constantly being broken down and reabsorbed by cells which are osteoclasts, and then rebuilt by other cells called osteoblasts. As you age, more bone is reabsorbed than replaced.

    One of the first osteoporosis symptoms is back pain.  Many patients ignore this or confuse it with the onset of arthritis.  But, if you are experiencing back pain, ask your doctor whether a bone density scan is warranted.

      Osteoporosis Symptoms : What To Know About The Silent Epidemic

      Osteoporosis symptoms do not occur when you first develop the disease.  For this reason, it is called the silent epidemic.  It sneaks up on you until one day you have a fracture or broken bone.  But over time, you will begin to see various osteoporosis symptoms.  These include:

      Back pain

      Slumped posture

      Bone fracture and breaks

      Compression fractures

      Eight million American women and 2 million American men have the condition.  As many as 50 percent of women will develop the disease in their lifetimes.  Caucasians and Asians are more likely to develop Osteoporosis than people of other races, but it strikes everyone.  Post menopausal women are the ones most at risk.

      Osteoporosis is caused when bone mass decreases.  This results in the bones to be more susceptible to fracture. Bone is constantly being broken down and reabsorbed by cells which are osteoclasts, and then rebuilt by other cells called osteoblasts. As you age, more bone is reabsorbed than replaced.

      One of the first osteoporosis symptoms is back pain.  Many patients ignore this or confuse it with the onset of arthritis.  But, if you are experiencing back
