Estrogen which is a hormone in women it protects bones . This hormone decreases sharply when women reach menopause, which can cause bone loss. This is why the chance of developing osteoporosis increases as women reach menopause.
Sedentary lifestyle. People who spend a lot of time sitting have a higher risk of osteoporosis than do those who are more active
Overactive parathyroid glands secrete too much parathyroid hormone. This causes calcium to leave the bones and go into the blood. The bones become osteoporotic and prone to fractures.
the coupling mechanism between osteoclasts and osteoblasts is thought to be unable to keep up with the constant microtrauma to trabecular bone which occurs in osteoporosis. Therefore, any process that increases the rate of bone remodeling results in net bone loss over time.
