Overview

Osteoporosis may be caused by conditions that can lead to the disturbed balance between bone formation and bone resorption. Common causes of osteoporosis include aging, menopause, nutritional deficiency of calcium and/or vitamin D, chronic renal failure, immobility, hyperparathyroidism, and chronic glucocorticoid abuse.

Causes

Life-Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours, if left untreated. There are no life-threatening causes of osteoporosis. However, complications resulting from untreated osteoporosis are common.
