Question 29 • Health Science Concepts - 248258-Fall (EL3602)

People with osteoporosis are at a higher risk for:

Answer
A
bone fracture.
B
stunted growth.
C
high blood pressure.
D
bone-marrow transplants.

Explanation

Osteoporosis reduces bone density, making bones weaker and more likely to break, sometimes after a minor fall or bump. Therefore, people with osteoporosis have a higher risk of bone fracture; stunted growth, high blood pressure, and bone-marrow transplants are not the direct risks described.
