The stateâs consumer use tax is the âother halfâ of the Virginia retail sales and use tax requirements. Typically, residents incur the use tax when they purchase more than $100 worth of items in a tax year, upon which they did not pay sales tax.
Osteoporosis is a progressive skeletal disease in which bones become thin, weak, brittle, and prone to fracture. Osteoporosis literally means âporous bones.â Thinning bones are caused by loss of bone density. Calcium and other minerals contribute to the bone mineral density that helps strengthen and protect bones.
Osteoporosis is a condition in which a decrease in the density of bones weakens the bones, making breaks (fractures) likely. 1  Aging, estrogen deficiency, low vitamin D or calcium intake, and certain disorders can decrease the amounts of the components that maintain bone density and strength. Osteoporosis may not cause symptoms until a bone fracture occurs. Fractures can occur with little or no force and may occur after a minor fall.
