Osteoporosis is a common condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It often occurs in women after menopause.

Regular exercise (especially weight-bearing exercise), healthy foods containing calcium and vitamin D, and reducing alcohol and tobacco consumption can help improve bone strength.
