Osteoporosis is a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both. As a result, bones become weak and may break from a fall or, in serious cases, from sneezing or minor bumps. Osteoporosis means âporous bone.â Viewed under a microscope, healthy bone looks like a honeycomb.
Information about Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis, literally 'porous bones', is a gradual lessening of bone density, resulting in bones that are thinner, more porous and less able to support the body. From the time we are infants, our bones are undergoing constant remodeling. Up to about age 35, this remodeling generally results in greater bone mass.
