    This document discusses the pathophysiology of osteoporosis. It identifies both modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for osteoporosis, including increased age, female sex, race, family history, small body frame, low calcium and vitamin D intake, sedentary lifestyle, alcohol and tobacco use, and certain medications. It explains that osteoporosis results in the thinning of bone and loss of trabecular tissue, making bones more brittle and prone to fracture with minimal stress. Common symptoms include loss of height, back pain, spinal deformities, and fractures of the forearm, spine or hip.
