Osteoporosis occurs when the bones lose density and break more easily. Though it’s a common problem, osteoporosis shouldn’t be ignored.

The National Osteoporosis Foundation says possible complications include:

• Broken bones.
• Chronic pain.
• Losing height.
• A hunched or stooped posture.
• Reduced mobility, which can result in feeling depressed or lonely.
• The potential need for nursing home care, such as for a broken hip.
