a disease that makes your bones weak. you fight it by taking calcium or drinking a lot of milk while you are still young.
it mainly affects old people, and their bones become so fragile that they are really prone to breaking.

Its a condition where the bones become less dense. They become weak and porous. There are medications out there to help rebuild bone density like Boniva, Actonel, Fosimax. osteoporosis is the leading cause of fractures in the older population. Taking calcium supplements early can also help.
