A osteoporosis is a type of bone disease that weakens your bones and may break them depending on how bad it is.

You may not have symptoms other than loss of height or bone fracture.

Some of the treatments include medication, healthy diet, weight-bearing exercise and more.

Step-by-step explanation:

Osteopetrosis is a condition in which bones become weak and brittle. It causes the body to constantly absorb and replace bone tissue. With osteoporosis, new bone creation doesn't keep up with old bone removal.

While some don't experience symptoms, common symptoms can include bone fracture and a decrease in height.

Most treatments include supplements and diet modifications.
