osteoporoza
A bone disorder in which there is a progressive reduction in bone density resulting in brittleness and increased porosity. People with osteoporosis are at a high risk for bone fractures. This disorder is most commonly found among post-menopausal women. However, it also occurs at a high frequency among men who have low testosterone levels (e. G. , men with Klinefelter syndrome).
