Osteoporosis - answer a common chronic metabolic bone
disorder resulting in low bone density.
Osteoporosis occurs when the rate of bone resorption
(osteoclast cells) exceeds the rate of bone formation
(osteoblast cells) resulting in fragile bone tissue and can
lead to fractures.
Common sites of osteoporotic fractures include the wrists,
hips, and the spine, although any bone can sustain a
fracture.
osteopenia - answer the precursor to osteoporosis, refers
to low bone mineral density relative to the client's age
and gender. Bone mineral density peaks between the ages
of 18 to 30

vegetables, fortified orange juice and cereals, red and
white beans, and figs.

vitamin D if dietary intake is inadequate (lactose
intolerance).

beverages, which contain phosphates and can cause
calcium loss.
