Answer 1

b.

joint injuries

Step-by-step explanation:

The word ‘osteoporosis’ means ‘porous bone.’ It is a disease that weakens bones. Osteoporosis means that you have less bone mass and strength. The disease often develops without any symptoms or pain, and it is usually not discovered until the weakened bones cause painful fractures. Most of these are fractures of the hip, wrist and spine.
