Osteoporosis is a major public health threat and if not prevented or left untreated, osteoporosis can develop painlessly until a bone breaks and causes a fracture. Fractures due to osteoporosis usually occur in the hip, spine, and wrist. A hip fracture almost always requires hospitalization and major surgery. Osteoporosis can cause a person inability to walk and may cause prolonged or permanent disability or even death. Spinal or vertebral fractures due to osteoporosis can also cause problems such as loss of height, severe back pain, and deformity.

Osteoporosis can occur at any age. Women are four times more likely than men to develop the disease. Women can lose up to 20 percent of their bone mass in the five to seven years following menopause, making them more vulnerable to osteoporosis. It is a know fact that one out of every two women and one in eight men over 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime. Thus osteoporosis is a vital issue in women's health.

Osteoporosis can be difficult to detect in the beginning because bone loss occurs without symptoms. People may not know that they have osteoporosis until their bones become so weak that a sudden strain or fall causes a fracture. Some of the risk factors that can cause Osteoporosis are, history of fracture after age 50, current low bone mass, advanced age, family history of osteoporosis, estrogen deficiency, abnormal absence of menstrual periods, low lifetime calcium intake, Vitamin D deficiency, low testosterone levels in men, an inactive lifestyle and or excessive use of alcohol.
