She has serious osteoporosis, the postmenopausal shortage of estrogen has put her bones in danger, weight-bearing activity and supplemental calcium will most likely be recommended. Osteoporosis is a state of delicate bone with an expanded vulnerability to break. Osteoporos is debilitated bone and builds the danger of bones breaking.
