Osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased risk of fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist. Men as well as women are affected by osteoporosis, a disease that can be prevented and treated.In the United States, more than 53 million people either already have osteoporosis or are at high risk due to low bone mass.steoporosis is often called a silent disease because bone loss occurs without symptoms. People may not know that they have osteoporosis until their bones become so weak that a sudden strain, bump, or fall causes a hip to fracture or a vertebra to collapse.
There were reports of frail bones dating to ancient Egypt, but some of the first analyses were by doctors Astley Cooper in the late 1790's and Jean Lobstein in the early 1800s â¦ .arly detection and intervention are important in osteoporosis to slow the disease. Osteoporosis can be diagnosed with procedures like a complete medical and family history, bone density test, blood tests, spine X-ray and spine CT. There are a number of medications and treatments that may help to increase bone density.
