Fracture due to Senile Osteoporosis

Fracture due to senile osteoporosis occurs when bones become weak and brittle with age, making them more susceptible to breaks. Osteoporosis is a condition where the density and quality of bone tissue deteriorate, often without obvious symptoms until a fracture happens. Common areas affected include the hip, wrist, and spine. Risk factors include aging, hormonal changes, lack of calcium or vitamin D, and physical inactivity. Preventive measures such as a balanced diet, weight-bearing exercise, and certain medications can help strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures in older adults.
