You probably won’t have any symptoms in early-stage osteoporosis, but once your bones get weak enough, you might start having back pain from fractured or collapsed vertebrae.

Osteoporosis is a disease you get when you lose bone faster than you make it. “Osteo” means bone, and “porosis” means porous . The bone loss of osteoporosis makes your bones weak, brittle, and fracture easily.You probably won’t have any symptoms in early-stage osteoporosis. Once your bones get weak enough, you might start having back pain from fractured or collapsed vertebrae. You may also start leaning forward in a stooped position and measure an inch or two less than before your bone loss.

Too much thyroid hormone or an overactive parathyroid or adrenal gland can bump up your risk, as can other conditions like celiac, kidney, or liver disease, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Steroids, like prednisone, can also increase your risk.If you don’t get much physical activity, your bones get weaker over time.

Protein intake is not only important for bone health but also helps maintain muscle mass, which can reduce the risk of bone fractures.
