Osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome or OPGG is a rare genetic condition characterized by early-onset blindness and severe osteoporosis alongside seemingly random bone fractures. Signs and symptoms [ edit ]
About 22 million women and 5.5 million men in the European Union had osteoporosis in 2010. [15] In the United States in 2010, about 8 million women and between 1 and 2 million men had osteoporosis. [13] [16] White and Asian people are at greater risk. [3] The word "osteoporosis" is from the Greek terms for "porous bones". [17]
Osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength and increased risk of fractures, is a major concern in bone health, particularly among older adults.
