Abstract
Osteoporosis is a condition chracterized by a reduced amount of bone which leads to diminihed physical strength of the skeleton and an increased susceptibility to fractures. There are many causes of osteoporosis but the most common by fair is due to the decrese in the amount of bone which occurs after the menopause, the so called postmenopausal osteoporosis. There is no evidence that postmenopausal bone loss itself causes any symptoms and ensuing osteoporosis has therefore been called «the silent epidemic».
