People over the age of 65 are more susceptible to osteoporosis.
Its a gradual process of wearing out of bone especially if the calcium intake is less.
It starts very early but the first symptoms are visible only after 15-20 years, when the bone strength becomes one-third.At that time fracture and pain is felt.
