Often called the <strong>&#8220;silent thief,&#8221;<\/strong> osteoporosis is a condition where bones become thin, brittle, and prone to fracture, often without a single warning sign until a break occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"border-bottom-color:var(--wp--preset--color--white);border-bottom-width:20px;font-size:16px\">If you are over the age of 60, understanding your risk isn&#8217;t just about &#8220;getting older&#8221;; it\u2019s about protecting your independence.
