Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by reduced bone density and quality, leading to an increased risk of fractures, particularly after menopause. Diagnosis is typically done using a DEXA scan, which measures bone mass and categorizes results from normal to severe osteoporosis. Prevention and treatment strategies include calcium and vitamin D supplementation, as well as maintaining bone health throughout life.
