A osteoporose é o principal motivo de fraturas na população acima de 50 anos. É uma mazela silenciosa que afeta principalmente mulheres na pós-menopausa. Dentre as formas de prevenção e tratamento da osteoporose encontra-se o tratamento medicamentoso, assim como, a prática sistemática de exercícios físicos.
