Studies suggest that approximately one in two women and up to one in four men age 50 and older will break a bone due to osteoporosis. \nBreaking a bone is a serious complication of osteoporosis\, especially with older patients. Osteoporotic bone breaks are most likely to occur in the hip\, spine or wrist\, but other bones can break too. In addition to causing permanent pain\, osteoporosis causes some patients to lose height. When osteoporosis affects vertebrae\, or the bones of the spine\, it often leads to a stooped or hunched posture \nOutline:  \n\nBone Basics\nCauses of Osteoporosis\nDiagnosis\nTreatment\nNutrition and lifestyle\nExercise\nGut Bone Axis\n\nObjectives: \n\nDiscuss bone physiology\nOutline the causes of osteoporosis\nExplain treatment options\nExamine nutrition and lifestyle changes\n\n\n
