Best Answer

Your bones can become brittle and there is a greater risk of bone fractures.

Osteoporosis (gaps, lower bone density, or weak points in solid bones) occurs primarily where calcium is not being added to the bones. Lack of calcium or vitamin D, and lowered estrogen in women, can cause osteoporosis.
