Why do women develop osteoporosis more than men?

Answer 2

Osteoporosis is a health risk directly linked to menopause. The lack of estrogen causes the cells that build new bone to be less active than cells that remove old bone - your bones are being torn down faster than they are being built up. The excessive loss of bone mass causes osteoporosis, a thinning and weakening of the bones.
