Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Bones provide the skeletal structure to the body. Bone diseases make the bone fragile, which can break easily. Low bone density enhances osteoporosis, which causes the weakening of bones. Poor nutrition, genetical problems can affect the rate of growth and building of the bones.

Women build bone until about age 35 and then begin to lose about 1 percent of their bone mass annually. Men start losing bone mass approximately 10 to 20 years later. During the aging process, most skeletal system changes result from changes in connective tissue. Most bone loss is caused by the loss later in life of bone mineral content, especially calcium salts deposited in the bone matrix. The cartilage becomes hard and brittle.
