A piece of holiday for your home

As defined by the World Health Organization, osteopenia and osteoporosis are skeletal alterations characterised by reduced bone tissue density resulting in increased bone fragility. The body areas that are most affected by loss of bone density are the hips, thoracic and lumbar spine, wrists and shoulders. Whereas in the past osteopenia and osteoporosis used to prevalently affect elderly females, these diseases are now increasingly diagnosed also in males and relatively young patients.
