As the disease is genetic, the possibility that osteoporosis can be hereditary is clear, and a person with a family history of bone fracture or loss of bone density issue has a greater risk of developing the condition.ontact |. Print |. A A. There is growing concern about osteoporosis, a bone disease affecting the elderly and especially postmenopausal women. Osteoporosis is a bone disease where there is a gradual decrease in the bone density, which causes further risks of symptoms like falls and frequent bone fractures.
Defining Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease marked by reduced bone strength leading to an increased risk of fractures, or broken bones. Bone strength has two main features: bone mass (amount of bone) and bone quality. Osteoporosis is the major underlying cause of fractures in postmenopausal women and the elderly.lthough low bone mass (or low bone density) plays an important role in determining a person's risk of osteoporosis, it is only one of many risk factors for fractures. Fracture risk results from a combination of bone-dependent and bone-independent factors.
