Osteoporosis in postmenopausal women
Journal Title: Medicine in Evolution - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
Osteoporosis is defined as a bone cell deregulation, being characterized by a reduction of bone mass and bone tissue integrity, leading to bone fragility and decreased bone hardness. This loss of performance in bone cells leads to a higher risk of fractures, predominantly in the hip and spine. In terms of percentage, 40% of osteoporosis cases occur in postmenopausal women and 15% occur in elderly men.
