Osteoporosis, a condition where the bones become thin, brittle and weak, can increase the risk of fractures in women.
Aging as well as menopause contribute to bone loss. Other risk factors include a diet that is low in calcium, vitamin D deficiency, certain medications, premature ovarian failure, smoking, decreased physical activity and a thin, petite stature.
