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 causes the bones in your body to become brittle due to tissue loss. The condition weakens the bone and increases the risk of breakage during a fall. The skeleton becomes fragile, causing frequent fractures that can occur in any skeletal bone, but are most common in the spine, the hip, and the wrist.
