OSTEOPOROSIS RISK FACTORS AND TREATMENT OPTIONS FACT SHEET What is osteoporosis? Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased susceptibility to fractures of the hip, spine and wrist. Wolff’s Law (1868) states that bone mass and density will be increased in areas of stress. Conversely
