It develops slowly over several years and is often only diagnosed when a fall or sudden impact causes a bone to fracture.  Causes: • taking high-dose steroid tablets for more than 3 months • other medical conditions – such as inflammatory conditions, hormone-related conditions, or malabsorption problems • a family history of osteoporosis – particularly a hip fracture in a parent. • long-term use of certain medicines that can affect bone strength or hormone levels, such as anti-oestrogen tablets that many women take after breast cancer. • having or having had an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia • having a low body mass index (BMI) • not exercising regularly • heavy drinking and smoking #osteoporosis
