Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones that causes them to be fragile, resulting in fractures. The bones actually become thinner and less dense. This is either due to the body not forming enough new bone, or too much bone being reabsorbed into the body, or both. Osteoporosis is more common in women than men and tends to develop after menopause. Cause: There are many causes of osteoporosis.
Autoimmune Diseases. Autoimmune diseases can affect almost any part of the body, including the heart, brain, nerves, muscles, skin, eyes, joints, lungs, kidneys, glands, the digestive tract, and blood vessels. The classic sign of an autoimmune disease is inflammation, which can cause redness, heat, pain, and swelling. How an autoimmune disease affects you depends on what part of the body is targeted. If the disease affects the joints, as in rheumatoid arthritis, you might have joint pain, stiffness, and loss of function.
