Answer:

B. Osteoporosis is often undetected until a bone breaks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weak and fragile, making them more likely to break. It is often called a "silent disease" because there are often no symptoms until a bone breaks.

This can lead to irreversible disability, such as a hip fracture, which can make it difficult to walk or even stand.

So, the answer is B. Osteoporosis is often undetected until a bone breaks.

Let's see the other options.

Statements A, C, and D are not true.

  • Osteoporosis can cause irreversible disability,
  • Diagnostic data available to confirm osteoporosis is not limited, and
  • There are other ways to detect osteoporosis besides waiting for a bone to break.
