    Osteoporosis results from reduced bone density and quality over time. Risk factors like genetics, aging, diet, lifestyle, hormones, and diseases or medications can contribute to suboptimal bone mass accumulation in youth or accelerated bone loss in older age. This leads to bones that are weaker and more prone to fracture.
