metabolic bone disease

Metabolic bone disease involves problems with the structure and strength of bones caused by imbalances in minerals like calcium, phosphorus, or vitamin D, or issues with bone remodeling processes. Conditions such as osteoporosis weaken bones, making them more prone to fractures, while other diseases can lead to abnormal bone growth or loss. These disorders can result from nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or certain medical conditions. Treatment often includes addressing the underlying cause, medication, and lifestyle changes to strengthen bones and prevent fractures.
