Osteoporosis is a diffuse reductive in bone density that results when the rate of bone resation exceeds the rate of bone formation. Reduction in bone density represent the failure of formation of the protein matrix in which the calcium is laid down. The cause of lack of bone protein varies and often several etiological factors such as disuse, reflex dystrophy, protein deficiency and ascorbic acid deficiency are operative for osteoporosis.
