Common risk factors for Osteoporosis are:
- Age
- Family history
- Not getting enough calcium
However, there is also a lesser known situation that puts both men and women at risk: certain
medications and medical conditions can thin the bone, thereby leading to osteoporosis. The osteoporosis that
results from such situations is called secondary osteoporosis because it occurs as a result of the treatment
of another disease or condition, or the condition itself.
