Im not an expert but i know some. Women are more likely to get bone loss than men. A diet that is rich in calcuim is good. However if there is a shortage of calcuim ingested, the body might take it away from the bones, starting bone loss. Another thing is osteoporosis. That is whrn your bones get very fragile and are prone to breaking and fracturing.

Why does osteoporosis affect women more than men?
Hi, Firstly osteoporosis is a condition where the rate of bone loss is greater than the rate of bone production. There are many factors which contribute to the condition including, race, diet, lifestyle, hereditary factors and gender. As women reach the menopause their levels of oestrogen (female sex hormone) decrease. This substance is important in the production of bone and a reduction leads to a lower bone mass density (BMD). Lower oestrogen leads to an increase in bone reabsorption and a decrease in bone production [1]. In men, however, decreased levels of testosterone (male sex hormone) have a less dramatic effect on bone loss.
What is marked loss of bone density and an increase in bone porosity is known as?
