A variety of diseases affect bones. One of the most common bone diseases is osteoporosis, which is characterized by a thinning of bone tissue, causing bones to become weak, brittle, and prone to fractures. Many factors can cause osteoporosis, including menopause, lack of exercise, low calcium intake, smoking, use of steroid drugs, and excessive consumption of alcohol.
