It is a common condition affecting approximately 40% of the female population, especially, after menopause. In most cases, the disease is asymptomatic; this means that it provides no signs in the form of pain, discomfort or other symptoms, and it is diagnosed when the bone thinning is already advanced usually in case of a fracture. Therefore, early diagnosis is critical in preventing disease progression.<\/p>\n<h4><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} --><\/h4>\n<h4>Factors implicated in the development of osteoporosis<\/h4>\n<h4><!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:list --><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Age.

This clinical application is crucial in preventing osteoporosis and avoiding the dramatic consequences (pain, fractures, and permanent disability) caused by its advanced form.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:image {\"id\":254,\"linkDestination\":\"custom\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a
