Osteoporosis is a bone disease that results in low bone mass and reduced bone tissue, thereby, increasing bone fragility. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines osteoporosis as a BMD value of 2.5 SD or more below a reference population specific PBM and is associated with an elevated risk of fracture. Diet and activity are key lifestyle factors in the primary prevention of osteoporosis.
