Osteoporosis is a bone disease causing low bone mass and poor microarchitecture, increasing fracture risk. This review explores the physiopathological factors contributing to this common skeletal disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics and Musculoskeletal Health
  • Cellular and Molecular Biology
  • Gerontology

Context:

  • Bone tissue is vital for support, movement, mineral storage, and housing bone marrow.
  • Bone quality encompasses mineralization, microarchitecture, and repair capacity.
  • Osteoporosis is defined by low bone mass and deteriorated microarchitecture, leading to increased fracture risk.

Purpose:

  • To review the physiopathological aspects influencing the development of osteoporosis.
  • To provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to bone fragility.

Summary:

  • Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by reduced bone mass and impaired bone microarchitecture.
  • Clinically, osteoporosis is identified by bone mass falling over 2.5 standard deviations below that of young healthy individuals.
