•  Osteoporosis is when bone resorption exceeds bone formation and bone mass is lost
• The bone becomes weak and vulnerable to fractures
• The risk for osteoporosis increases with old age 
•  Women are more vulnerable to osteoporosis because they are likely to reach the threshold at which bone fragility is increased before men due to their smaller skeletons
• The most accurate technique available to measure bone density uses a technique called dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)
• Hormone therapy can increase bone mass if it is started within the first five years and combined with calcium and exercise
