It is characterized as a skeletal disorder due to decreased bone strength prompting an expanded danger of fractures (The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and Osteoporosis Australia., 2017). Osteoporosis literally means \u201cporous bones\u201d and is characterized by decreased mineral density of the bones. It is frequently seen in aging population and is considered as a modern day epidemic. Osteoporosis makes the bones weak and fragile increasing the chances of getting them fractured with trivial trauma. Such a kind of fractures may lead to pain, deformity and disability (The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and Osteoporosis Australia., 2017). Osteoporosis and related fractures are the major noteworthy reason for morbidity and mortality of the elderly population. From the age of 50the remaining lifetime risk of fractures is evaluated to be 50% in women and 30% in men(Nguyen, Ahlborg, Eisman, &amp; Nguyen, 2007).According to WHO \u201cOsteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and micro architectural destruction of the bone tissue leading to fragility and sequential increase in fracture risk resulting in fractures with minimal trauma\u201d. (Soelaiman, Das, Shuid, Mo, &amp; Mohamed, 2013).<\/p>\n<p>Osteoporosis has risen as one of the leading health issue worldwide. It is often considered as silent since it is known only when it causes bone fracture(Res, 2013). Due to increased longevity of life in the Indian population Osteoporosis has become the major cause of morbidity and mortality when compared to the western countries (National &amp; Journal, 1996).The predominance of Osteoporosis increases with age in women and not in men. It was reported that 22% of the population will have Osteoporosis by 2025 and 33% in 2050 (Mithal%2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction Osteoporosis is a major public health problem globally.
