Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by the loss of the normal density
of bone, resulting in fragile bone. Osteoporosis leads to literally abnormally
porous bone that is more compressible like a sponge, than dense like a brick.
This disorder of the skeleton weakens the bone causing an increase in the risk
for breaking bones (bone fracture)
