Secondary Osteoporosis
Much of
the information that Osteoporosis Canada makes available to the public talks
about the risk factors associated with developing osteoporosis. As a
result, more people are aware of the common risk factors, such as age,
family history, not getting enough calcium, etc.
There is, however,
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.
