Osteoporosis affects one in every two women and one in every three men over the age of 60. It is a crippling disease that occurs from the loss of minerals, bone matrix and collagen from the skeleton. It results in loss of height, curvature of the spine and brittle bones. Fractures of the hips, spinal vertabrae and wrists may occur once the bone density (strength) reduces below a critical level.
