How does osteoporosis weaken bones? Check all that apply.

Osteoporosis weakens bones by reducing bone mass and bone density. As bone tissue is lost, the internal structure becomes more porous, creating spaces or “holes” that make bones more fragile. Pain, loss of height, stooped posture, and the parts of the body where osteoporosis occurs are not ways it directly weakens bone.
