Definition of Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis: Thinning of the bones, with reduction in bone mass, due to depletion of calcium and bone protein. Osteoporosis predisposes a person to fractures, which are often slow to heal and heal poorly. It is most common in older adults, particularly postmenopausal women, and in patients who take steroids or steroidal drugs.
Types of Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis may be either a primary or a secondary form. Primary osteoporosis is the more common form and is due to the typical age-related loss of bone from skeleton. It is classified as type 1 and type 2. Secondary osteoporosis results from the presence of other diseases or conditions that predispose to bone loss and is classified as type 3.
