This is a video where I discuss the various causes, risk factors, exercises, nutrition associated with osteoporosis. Many people think this is just a disease for older people but many of the things you do in your early life can influence the health of your bones as you age.
Make sure you read the article in the link below that discusses this in much more detail and provides additional pictures and videos to help you understand osteoporosis better.

Osteoporosis is a disease of the bone that makes a person’s bones weak and more likely to break and is often called a “silent disease” because you cannot feel your bones getting weaker. Many people do not even know they have osteoporosis until after they break a bone. Once you have Osteoporosis you cannot reverse it so it is vital you do everything you can to prevent it from happening by making important lifestyle choices. If you do already have it you can still do things to prevent any further bone loss and also drastically reduce the likelihood of any future bone fractures. The sooner you start the better, for research shows that how likely you are to develop osteoporosis depends partly on how much bone mass you attained in your youth. The higher your peak bone mass, the more bone you have "in the bank" and the less likely you are to develop osteoporosis as you age.

According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation in the US statistics show that 54 million Americans, half of all adults age 50 and older, are at risk of breaking a bone and should be concerned about bone health.

Your bones are in a constant state of renewal — new bone is made and old bone is broken down. When you're young, your body makes new bone faster than it breaks down old bone and your bone mass increases. After the early 20s this process slows, and most people reach their peak bone mass by age 30. As people age, bone mass is lost faster than it's created. Osteoporosis occurs when the creation of new bone doesn't keep up with the loss of old bone.

As bones lose their density they become weaker and the risk of fracture during regular activities increases. If this person were to fall they would likely break a hip, wrist or vertebrae in their spine! If bones become brittle enough (severe osteoporosis) they can break during even normal weightbearing activities. In older populations broken bones are potentially lethal and the seriousness of this cannot be underestimated. Hip fractures are the number one cause of nursing home admission and approximately 50% of those who suffer a hip fracture never fully regain their mobility and independence and 50% of those die within the first year!
