Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis. Computer artwork of a human female skeleton degenerating due to osteoporosis. At left is a normal skeleton. The degeneration, seen from left to right over time, is the loss of height and the backwards curvature (kyphosis) of the spine. Osteoporosis is a condition where loss of bone mass causes a reduction in the bone density. It is most common in woman after the menopause because they no longer produce the hormone oestrogen that helps to retain bone mass. The loss of height and kyphosis occur due to the spinal bones (vertebrae) collapsing as they weaken due to the osteoporotic loss of bone mass

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print from Science Photo Library depicts the devastating effects of osteoporosis on a human female skeleton. The image showcases two contrasting skeletons side by side, with the one on the left representing a normal healthy skeleton and the one on the right showcasing severe degeneration caused by osteoporosis over time. The visual progression captures two significant changes associated with this condition: loss of height and backward curvature (kyphosis) of the spine. Osteoporosis is characterized by a reduction in bone density due to loss of bone mass. It primarily affects women after menopause as they no longer produce estrogen, which helps maintain bone mass. The collapse and weakening of spinal bones (vertebrae) due to osteoporotic bone loss lead to both physical changes seen in this image - loss of height and kyphosis. These alterations highlight how this disorder can significantly impact an individual's musculoskeletal system, resulting in brittle bones that are prone to fractures. By presenting such an impactful visual representation, Science Photo Library aims to raise awareness about osteoporosis and its consequences for individuals, particularly elderly women. This thought-provoking photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining strong bones throughout life while also shedding light on medical advancements aimed at preventing or treating this age-related condition.
