Abstract

Osteoporosis is a condition in which the absolute bone mass is less than normal and is so sufficiently reduced that there is increased risk of fracture in the absence of significant trauma.[1] Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease in humans, representing a major public health problem. It is more common in Caucasians, women, and older people. Osteoporosis is a risk factor for fracture just as hypertension is for stroke. Osteoporosis affects an enormous number of people, of both sexes and all races, and its prevalence will increase as the population ages. It is a silent disease until fractures occur, which causes important secondary health problems and even death.[2] It was reported that in both Europe and the United States, 30% women are osteoporotic, and it was estimated that 40% post-menopausal women and 30% men will experience an osteoporotic fracture in the rest of their lives.[3] osteoporosis is an Autoimmune disease caused by the activation of T or B cells or both, with no evidence of other causes such as infections or malignancies.[4]
