(a). Osteoporoses is a condition characterised by bone weakening caused by loss of bone mass.

(b). Ospeoporisis results in an increased risk of bone fractures, particlularly of the hip and the spine. Calculate supplements are taken to help prevent this.
(c). Instead of using vehicles even for small distances, we should walk over these distances as walking calculate supplements are taken to help prevent this.
