Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a widespread disease that causes bone loss, especially with increasing age. As a result, bone fractures can occur even with small loads, which are associated with pain and costly treatment. A distinction is made between different types of osteoporosis (primary, secondary). Early detection and treatment can slow down or stop the progression and prevent the formation of fractures. Osteoporosis prevention is recommended for:
